How to watch France vs Spain: Free Streams & TV Channels | Daily Reports Online
Kylian Mbappe and Lamine Yamal headline a heavyweight FIFA World Cup 2026 semi-final as France take on Spain in Dallas — and you can live stream the game around the world for free.
France captain Mbappe scored his eighth goal of the tournament in the quarter-final against Morocco, breaking the deadlock on the hour mark with a sumptuous curling strike that set Les Bleus on course for a 2-0 win. The forward was withdrawn shortly after with what appeared to be an ankle issue, although he appeared confident that he would be fit to face Spain. Didier Deschamps’ men have won all six games at this summer’s tournament and are yet to concede a goal in the knockout stage, putting the two-time winners on the verge of a third successive final.
Yamal’s impact on the World Cup has been rather more understated than Mbappe’s, with the teenager scoring just once for a Spain team who have reached the last four thanks to the contribution of their less-heralded stars. Mikel Merino came off the bench to score a late winner for the second successive knockout game in the 2-1 victory over Belgium in the quarter-final and manager Luis de la Fuente must now decide whether to start the Arsenal midfielder or keep him as a supersub. La Roja have conceded just once on their way to their second World Cup semi-final, having only previously reached the last four when they lifted the trophy in 2010.
The winner faces England or Argentina in the final in New Jersey.
