France vs Senegal FIFA World Cup 2026: India time, live streaming details and more

France begins its FIFA World Cup 2026 journey with a challenging Group-stage clash against Senegal at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Tuesday.

The 2018 world champions head into the tournament determined to go one step further after suffering heartbreak in the 2022 final, where they narrowly lost to Argentina on penalties following one of the most memorable title deciders in World Cup history. With stars such as Kylian Mbappe and Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembele leading the attack, France is widely regarded as one of the strongest contenders for the trophy.

Senegal, meanwhile, will be aiming to spring an early surprise and make a strong start to its campaign. The African nation showed its quality in Qatar before bowing out in the Round of 16 and will be hoping for a deeper run this time around. A positive result against France would provide a major boost to its knockout-stage ambitions.
