France vs Morocco: Kickoff Time, Live Stream and TV Info for World Cup 2026 Quarterfinal

The quarterfinal showdown between France and Morocco brings back memories of their 2022 semifinal encounter. Both teams have become familiar with the pressure and intensity of late-stage tournament play.

France secured their spot with a tight 1-0 win over Paraguay, thanks to a penalty converted by Kylian Mbappé. That goal keeps Mbappé in the hunt for the Golden Boot, boasting seven goals and two assists, putting him close to surpassing legends like Lionel Messi and Erling Haaland.

Morocco earned their quarterfinal berth with an impressive second-half surge against Canada, highlighted by a brace from Azzedine Ounahi and a late goal by Soufiane Rahimi. To match France's attacking firepower led by Ousmane Dembélé and Michael Olise, Morocco will rely on stars such as Achraf Hakimi, Brahim Díaz, Youssef En-Nesyri, and Noussair Mazraoui.
