The Leones vs. India, for the 2026 World Cup: day, time, TV, and how to watch online

Argentina's national field hockey team, known as "Los Leones," faces a crucial match against India on Monday at 9:45 AM (Argentine time) in Amstelveen, Netherlands. This game, part of the second stage of Group E in the 2026 World Cup, is vital for their aspirations of reaching the semifinals.

Currently, Los Leones are tied with England in the Group E standings, both having secured three points after their respective victories. However, they trail the Netherlands, who lead the group with six points. Argentina's current position is third due to a less favorable goal difference compared to England, having scored four goals to England's five.

The team's path to the semifinals is not entirely in their own hands. While they play against the tournament's last-place team, India, who are virtually eliminated, their qualification could also hinge on the outcome of England's match against the group leaders, the Netherlands. A win for Argentina is essential, but they may also need to consider the goal difference if multiple teams end up with the same points.

Should Argentina advance to the semifinals, their opponent would be determined by the results in Group F, which includes Australia, Spain, Germany, and Belgium. The current squad, managed by Lucas Rey, comprises a roster of 20 players, with five additional players serving as reserves.
