World Cup 2026 | Argentina vs Switzerland: Where to watch this quarterfinal match for free

The stage is set for a compelling 2026 World Cup quarterfinal clash as Argentina prepares to take on Switzerland this Saturday, July 11th, in Kansas City. The match, scheduled to kick off at 8:00 p.m. Panama time, will be available for free live broadcast in Panama via TVN, TVMAX, TVN Pass, and TVN Radio 96.5 FM.

Argentina, led by Lionel Scaloni, arrives with an impressive 11-game unbeaten streak in World Cup knockout stages, a run that includes a remarkable comeback victory against Egypt in the Round of 16. Despite a solid defense that has limited opponents' shots, the team has shown vulnerabilities, conceding five goals from five shots on target. They are aiming to become the first team since Brazil in 1962 to successfully defend their World Cup title.

Switzerland, on the other hand, advanced by defeating Colombia on penalties in the Round of 16, securing a quarterfinal berth for the first time since 1954. Under Murat Yakin, the Swiss team has shown strong form, with only one loss in their last 19 matches. This game represents their toughest test of the tournament so far.

Historically, Switzerland has never defeated Argentina in seven previous encounters, including two World Cup matches. Their record against South American teams in the World Cup is also unfavorable, with only two wins in ten games. Key players to watch include Argentina's Enzo Fernández, who scored the winning goal against Egypt, and Switzerland's Breel Embolo, looking to make a significant impact. Argentina reports no major injuries, while Switzerland may be without Johan Manzambi due to a knee issue.
