The 2026 World Cup has been whittled down from 48 teams to just four. France, Spain, England, and Argentina have secured their spots in the semifinals.

The top four ranked teams in the world will vie for the right to lift the trophy on July 19, but first, they must overcome the penultimate hurdle.

Superstars will be on display in Dallas on Tuesday as France takes on Spain. Kylian Mbappe has been in sensational form and will look to continue his scoring streak. Michael Olise and Ousmane Dembele are also eager to play starring roles.

Spain's teenage sensation Lamine Yamal will make his first World Cup semifinal appearance and will be a key outlet for the reigning European champions. Mikel Merino has scored late winners off the bench in Spain's last two matches—will he be a super-sub again or force his way into the starting XI?

England's run was initially built on goals from captain Harry Kane, but Jude Bellingham joined the party in the knockouts. The England number 10 has six goals, including two in the quarterfinal, and is in the race for the Golden Boot.

Argentina's title defense has been laced with goals from legend Lionel Messi, who has eight in six matches. The captain will be eager to leave his mark on the semis and lead his team to a second consecutive final.

Stats provider Opta's supercomputer predicts France will win the World Cup, giving Les Bleus a 53% chance of reaching the final and a 33% chance of lifting the trophy. Spain is second favorite at 27%, followed by Argentina and England.

US fans can watch every match in English on FOX and FS1, with streaming on Fox One and the FOX Sports app. Spanish-language coverage is on Telemundo and Universo, with streaming via Peacock. Cord-cutters can use Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, and DIRECTV.
