FIFA World Cup matches tomorrow ft Belgium, USA, and more; schedule, live stream

The knockout stage of the FIFA World Cup 2026 kicks into high gear on Wednesday with two intriguing Round of 32 matches featuring European powerhouses against determined African and European challengers. 

Belgium, who topped Group G with a strong finish after early draws against Egypt and Iran, face a dangerous Senegal side that advanced as one of the best third-placed teams. The Red Devils unleashed a dominant performance in their final group game, highlighted by Leandro Trossard's standout contributions. 

Manager Rudi Garcia is expected to field a strong lineup including Thibaut Courtois in goal, with Kevin De Bruyne and other star players providing creative and attacking firepower. Belgium's experience and technical quality make them favorites, but Senegal, known for their physicality, pace on the counter, and never-say-die attitude, pose a significant threat in what promises to be an open, entertaining contest at Lumen Field.

This matchup pits European flair against African resilience, with the winner advancing to a potential showdown against the USA or Bosnia in the Round of 16. On the other hand, co-hosts the United States, fresh off topping Group D with impressive wins over Paraguay and Australia, despite a narrow final loss to Türkiye, welcome Bosnia and Herzegovina to Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. 

Christian Pulisic is poised to lead the attack for Mauricio Pochettino's side in front of a passionate home crowd. Bosnia advanced from the group stage and will look to disrupt the Americans with organized defending and moments of individual brilliance. However, the USMNT's home advantage, depth, and momentum position them as clear favorites to reach the Round of 16 on home soil for the first time since 1994.
