FIFA World Cup 2026 Semifinal Live Streaming: Lionel Messi, Harry Kane headline Argentina vs England clash with final berth at stake - Check Kickoff Time, Venue and How to Watch Live in US and Canada

FIFA World Cup 2026: England and Argentina will renew one of football's greatest rivalries on Wednesday when they meet in a blockbuster World Cup semifinal with a place in the final on the line. The clash also pits Harry Kane against Lionel Messi, who is chasing the rare feat of winning back-to-back World Cups with Argentina. England are aiming to reach their first World Cup final since lifting the trophy in 1966, while Argentina hope to advance to a third final in the last four editions and become the first team since Brazil in 1962 to successfully defend the title.

The semifinal marks the nations' first World Cup meeting since 2002 and the latest chapter in a rivalry filled with unforgettable moments, including Diego Maradona's infamous 'Hand of God' goal in 1986 and David Beckham's red card in the 1998 tournament.



Argentina have overcome a series of dramatic knockout matches, defeating Cape Verde, Egypt, and Switzerland after extra time. Although Messi's run of scoring in nine consecutive World Cup appearances ended against Switzerland, the defending champions remain unbeaten at the finals since their shock opening loss to Saudi Arabia in 2022.


England have also survived a demanding path, with Jude Bellingham emerging as their standout performer. The Real Madrid midfielder inspired comeback victories over Mexico and Norway, while captain Kane has delivered crucial goals as England continue their pursuit of a long-awaited return to the World Cup final.
