Portugal will face Croatia in a 2026 FIFA World Cup round of 32 showdown on Thursday, July 2, 2026, at Toronto Stadium on FOX. Portugal has reached its third straight knockout stage, eyeing another step forward after reaching the round of 16 in 2018 and the quarterfinals in 2022. Portugal was the only pre-tournament group favorite to not top its group. Instead, the Seleção advanced as Group K runner-up behind Colombia after beating Uzbekistan 5-0 and drawing DR Congo 1-1 and Colombia 0-0. Portugal’s six goals were tied for its fewest ever in a World Cup group stage. Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo will look to bounce back in what could be a grueling knockout stage path. Meanwhile, Croatia is in the knockout stage for its third consecutive tournament, after finishing third in 2022 and runner-up in 2018. Croatia advanced as the Group L runner-up behind England, beating Ghana 2-1 in the group finale to leap into second place. Croatia took only 24 shots in the group stage (third-fewest) worth 2.8 expected goals (seventh-fewest), while conceding 36 shots (10th-most) worth 4.4 expected goals (fourth-most).
