Which teams are in the World Cup semifinals, and what’s the match schedule?

Four teams have advanced to the semifinals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup: France, Spain, England, and Argentina. The tournament began with 48 teams competing, but only these four remain in contention for the trophy, which will be awarded on July 19.

France will face Spain in Dallas on Tuesday in the first semifinal matchup. France's Kylian Mbappé has performed exceptionally throughout the tournament and will seek to extend his scoring record against Spain. Michael Olise and Ousmane Dembele are also expected to play significant roles for the French side. Spain, the reigning European champions, will rely on teenage sensation Lamine Yamal and midfielder Mikel Merino, who has scored late-match winners in Spain's previous two matches.

England's campaign has been anchored by captain Harry Kane's goals in the group stage, with Jude Bellingham emerging as a key contributor in the knockout rounds. Bellingham has scored six goals and is competing for the Golden Boot award. Argentina's title defense has been driven by Lionel Messi, who has eight goals in six matches, though he did not score in the quarterfinal.

According to statistical analysis by Opta, France is favored to win the World Cup with a 33 percent probability of lifting the trophy and a 53 percent chance of reaching the final. Spain is the second favorite with a 27 percent chance of winning, followed by Argentina and England. In the United States, matches will be broadcast on FOX and FS1, with Spanish-language coverage available on Telemundo and Universo.
