Belgium vs Iran LIVE streaming, TV channel, kick-off time & where to watch FIFA World Cup 2026

Belgium and Iran will meet in this match for the first time ever.

The Belgium national football team will aim to move a step closer to the FIFA World Cup 2026 knockout stages when they take on Iran in a crucial Group G encounter at Los Angeles Stadium (SoFi Stadium) in Inglewood, California, USA.

Belgium arrived in the United States carrying the hopes of making a deep run in the tournament after a disappointing group-stage exit in 2022. However, the Red Devils were far from convincing in their opening match, needing a second-half equaliser from Romelu Lukaku to rescue a 1-1 draw against Egypt after Emam Ashour had put the Pharaohs ahead.

With Group G still finely balanced, Rudi Garcia’s side know a victory here could put them in a strong position to secure a place in the Round of 32. Despite being held in their first outing, Belgium remain one of the strongest teams in the group and will be eager to make a statement.

Iran, meanwhile, have started dreaming of history. Team Melli have never progressed beyond the group stage at a FIFA World Cup, but they have given themselves a genuine chance of changing that in 2026. Their campaign began with an entertaining 2-2 draw against New Zealand, where they twice came from behind to earn a valuable point.

Led by Amir Ghalenoei, Iran have shown remarkable resilience and determination despite the challenges surrounding their participation in the tournament. With experienced players such as Mehdi Taremi and Ramin Rezaeian leading the way, the three-time Asian champions will be confident of causing problems for Belgium.

Interestingly, Belgium and Iran have never met before in international football. Their first-ever encounter now comes on football’s biggest stage, adding even more intrigue to a contest that could have a major impact on the group standings.

The two nations are part of Group G alongside Egypt and New Zealand, with all four teams still in contention for a top-two finish and a place in the knockout rounds.
