Spain already has date and opponent for the World Cup 2026 semifinal

The Spanish national team, known as Spain, will play the semifinal on Tuesday July 14 at 21:00 hours at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, and its opponent will be France. The side reached this stage after eliminating Belgium in the quarter‑finals, keeping a clean sheet until the 41st minute of the Belgian match. Last result: Spain 3-0 Austria (2026-07-02), and recent form shows 4W-1D-0L in the last five games, cementing a four‑match winning streak.

How did Spain get to the semifinal?

After a group stage without conceding, Spain beat Cape Verde (0‑0), Saudi Arabia (4‑0), Uruguay (1‑0), Austria (3‑0) and Portugal (1‑0). In the round of 16 they overcame Portugal, and in the quarters they eliminated Belgium with a goal by Unai Simón in the 41st minute, after De Ketelaere’s action. Coach Luis de la Fuente has guided the team with tactical discipline that has frustrated every opponent, keeping the net untouched until the second half of the Belgium match.

What does the clash with France mean?

France reached the quarters after beating Morocco, and now aims to repeat the victory that took them to the previous Euro final. Spain, which won that semifinal 2‑1, will look to repeat the success and advance to the final scheduled for Sunday July 19 at 21:00 hours. A possible showdown with Argentina or Norway‑England will await the winner of the remaining ties. The pressure will be high, but the confidence of the defence and the offensive firepower of players like Álvaro Morata and Pedri could make the difference.

Where to watch the match and how to follow Spain?

The game will be broadcast for free on La 1 and Teledeporte, and also available via RTVE Play. DAZN subscribers and DAZN Mundial can stream the match through Movistar Plus+ and Orange TV. Fans who prefer online streaming can watch on the tournament’s official platform in high definition.

What lies ahead for Spain after the semifinal?

If Spain beats France, it will face the winner of the Norway‑England or Argentina‑Switzerland duel in the final. Preparation includes intensive training in Dallas, video analysis of France’s recent games, and offensive tactical sessions to exploit the spaces the French defence often leaves. With morale high and a winning streak, Spain is poised to chase its second world title, a feat only achieved in South Africa 2010.
