Spain will face Portugal in a 2026 FIFA World Cup round of 16 showdown on Monday, July 6, 2026, at Dallas Stadium on FOX.
After topping Group H, Spain defeated Austria 3-0 in the round of 32 to win a World Cup knockout game for the first time since the 2010 final.
Spain has not allowed a goal so far this tournament and is now unbeaten in 34 straight games (25W-9D-0L) since March 2024, the second-longest undefeated run in team history.
Lamine Yamal’s minutes have increased in each match of this tournament, peaking with 85 against Austria on Thursday. The 18-year-old superstar is expected to be a full go on Monday.
Meanwhile, Portugal survived a huge scare. In a 2-1 win over Croatia in the round of 32, Portugal got its second-ever World Cup comeback win.
41-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo converted a penalty vs Croatia, becoming the oldest player to score in the World Cup knockout stage. It was his first career World Cup knockout-stage goal.
The two historic nations have a lot of recent history. In the 2018 group stage, Ronaldo completed his only World Cup hat trick by equalizing in the 88th minute on a direct free kick to force a 3-3 draw.
The two sides also met in the 2025 UEFA Nations League final, where Portugal beat Spain in a penalty shootout.
We are about to witness a 23-year age gap between two of the world’s biggest superstars with a trip to the quarterfinals on the line. So let’s check out the odds for the massive Spain vs. Portugal matchup at FanDuel Sportsbook as of July 6.
