ATLANTA ― The field for the World Cup is getting smaller and smaller.
In case you missed it, the 2026 tournament is officially down to the round of 16. Friday evening's slate of games was the end of the round of 32, and it did not disappoint. Vozinha and Cape Verde took reigning champions Argentina and Lionel Messi into extra time in a game that will be talked about for years to come.
Now, as the World Cup moves closer and closer to crowning a champion, there are fewer games each day. So, it might be hard to understand when games are and who's playing. As the round of 16 kicks off on Saturday afternoon, here's what you need to know about the schedule for the evening.
Yes. There is one World Cup match tonight.
Kylian Mbappé and France take on Paraguay at 5 p.m. ET at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. It will be the sixth and final game played in the 2026 World Cup at the home stadium of the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles.
France comes into Saturday's matchup after a 3-0 shutout win over Sweden on June 30. Mbappé had a brace, scoring goals in the 45th and 75th minutes. Paraguay rolls into Philadelphia after stunning Germany on June 29, with a penalty kick win, 1(4)-1(3).
