Germany vs Ivory Coast LIVE streaming, TV channel, kick-off time & where to watch FIFA World Cup 2026
Germany and Ivory Coast face off in their first-ever World Cup meeting.
The Germany national football team will aim to continue on their momentous start of the tournament as they are set to face the Ivory Coast in a must-win clash in Group E of the ongoing 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign at Toronto Stadium in Ontario, Canada.
Germany, despite winning the title in 2014, had disappointing outings in the previous two editions, suffering shocking group-stage exits. On their return, Germany bounced back spectacularly, securing a dominant 7-1 victory over Curaçao in their opening fixture and showcasing an exceptional attacking performance.
Ivory Coast, who are returning to the competition after 12 years, will hope to make a mark in the tournament and progress from the group stages for the first time. They made an excellent start to their campaign, securing a hard-fought 1-0 win against Ecuador in their opening group fixture, with a 90th-minute winner from winger Amad Diallo.
Germany and Ivory Coast have only faced off against each other once before their World Cup fixture, with the matchup coming in 2009, as both sides settled for a 2-2 draw. The meeting will be historic, as it marks the first-ever match between the sides in a major competition.
They are placed in Group E of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with both nations set to compete alongside Ecuador and Curaçao to secure a top-two finish to qualify for the knockout stages.
