Prematch
10 a.m. — Sweden storming to arguably the most impressive win over the first round of group matches will not have been on many people’s bingo cards. The Scandinavian country had a nightmare qualifying campaign in UEFA Group B, finishing bottom with two points across six matches against Switzerland, Kosovo and Slovenia. But they qualified for the playoff round via their 2024/25 Nations League performance and, under new head coach Graham Potter, they beat Ukraine and Poland to seal a place at the finals.

8 a.m. — Welcome to day 10 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. We’ll be following the early kickoff from Houston — an all-European affair between the Netherlands and Sweden.
