World Cup 2026 Day 10 Match Schedule (June 20, 2026)

Today’s Match News

Netherlands vs Sweden

Netherlands vs Sweden feels like the most even game of the day. The Dutch squad is built around Virgil van Dijk, Frenkie de Jong and Donyell Malen, while Sweden’s squad includes Viktor Gyökeres, Anthony Elanga and Dejan Kulusevski.

The Netherlands also had a late defensive adjustment when Lutsharel Geertruida came into the squad after Jurrien Timber’s absence.

• Location: Houston, United States
• Stadium: NRG Stadium
• Date: Saturday, June 20
• Kick-off Time: 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT / 6 p.m. BST
• Referee: Michael Oliver (ENG)

Netherlands vs Sweden Starting XI

• Netherlands (4-3-3): Verbruggen; Dumfries, van Dijk, Aké, Geertruida; De Jong, Reijnders, Simons; Malen, Depay, Gakpo. The prediction is built around the squad core highlighted by FIFA, especially van Dijk, de Jong, Malen and the late addition of Geertruida.
• Sweden (4-2-3-1): Nordfeldt; Lagerbielke, Hien, Lindelöf; Bernhardsson, Nygren, Karlström, Ayari, Gudmundsson; Gyökeres, Isak.

Germany vs Ivory Coast

Germany arrive with serious tournament weight again. Manuel Neuer is in the squad, and Florian Wirtz, Kai Havertz and Nico Schlotterbeck as some of the most influential players in Julian Nagelsmann’s group.

Côte d’Ivoire have quality too, with Franck Kessié, Sébastien Haller, Wilfried Singo and Ghislain Konan among the main names in their World Cup squad.

• Location: Toronto, Canada
• Stadium: BMO Field
• Date: Saturday, June 20
• Kick-off Time: 4 p.m. ET / 1 p.m. PT / 9 p.m. BST

Germany vs Ivory Coast Starting XI

Germany (4-2-3-1): Neuer; Kimmich, Tah, Schlotterbeck, Brown; Nmecha, Pavlović; Sané, Musiala, Wirtz; Havertz.

Côte d’Ivoire (4-3-3): Y. Fofana; Doué, Singo, N’Dicka, Konan; Amad Diallo, Kessié, S. Fofana, Diomande; Pepé, Bonny.d Konan.

Ecuador vs Curaçao

Ecuador have a midfield and defensive spine that can make life difficult for anyone. FIFA’s squad announcement placed Willian Pacho, Moisés Caicedo and Enner Valencia at the center of Sebastián Beccacece’s team, while Curaçao enter with a roster that includes Jearl Margaritha, Gervane Kastaneer and Jürgen Locadia. That gives this match more balance than it may look at first glance.

• Location: Kansas City, USA
• Stadium: Arrowhead Stadium
• Date: Saturday, June 20 / Sunday, June 21
• Kick-off Time: 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT / 1 a.m. BST (June 21)

Ecuador vs Curaçao Starting XI

• Ecuador (4-3-3): Galindez; Preciado, Pacho, Ordóñez, Hincapié; Caicedo, Franco; Yeboah, Vite, Plata; Valencia.
• Curaçao (4-2-3-1): Room; Floranus, Bazoer, Obispo, Fonville; Commencia, L. Bacuna, J. Bacuna; Chong, Locadia, Hansen.

Tunisia vs Japan

Tunisia vs Japan closes the day with a very different feel. Tunisia are under Sabri Lamouchi, who has already spoken about wanting the team to leave the World Cup with no regrets, and Tunisia’s 26-man squad is in place for the Japan match.

Japan, meanwhile, named their own 26-man squad with Kaoru Mitoma listed as injured in FIFA’s announcement, which adds another layer of interest to their selection.

• Location: Guadalupe, Mexico
• Stadium: Estadio BBVA
• Date: Saturday, June 20 / Sunday, June 21
• Kick-off Time: 12 a.m. ET (June 21) / 9 p.m. PT / 5 a.m. BST (June 21)

Tunisia vs Japan Starting XI

• Tunisia (4-3-3): Dahmen; Valery, Rekik, Talbi, Abdi; Khedira, Skhiri; Achouri, Mejbri, Gharbi; Saad
• Japan (4-2-3-1): Suzuki; Taniguchi, Watanabe, H. Ito; Sugawara, Kamada, Sano, Nakamura; Doan, Maeda; Ueda

Who Will Win Today?

My picks for Day 10 are Netherlands, Germany, Ecuador and Japan. The Dutch have slightly more control in midfield, Germany carry the biggest overall quality, Ecuador look stronger in the middle of the pitch than Curaçao, and Japan still feel like the more balanced side in the final match of the day.

These are predictions, not certainties, but the stronger tournament squads should have the edge if they play to their level.

Day 10 has the kind of schedule that can change the shape of the groups quickly. If the favorites handle business, the knockout race gets clearer; if one upset lands, this day will be remembered for much longer.
