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

Both nations are to meet at the World Cup after 52 years.

As the 2026 FIFA World Cup enters its second round of fixtures, the Netherlands national football team are in search of their first win of the tournament as they face Sweden in an exciting clash at Houston Stadium in Texas, USA.

The Netherlands, under manager Ronald Koeman, will be targeting an impressive campaign after falling in the quarter-finals to the defending champions Argentina in the previous edition. Considered a side capable of creating a massive impact, had to settle for an underwhelming 2-2 draw against Japan, despite dominating the match.

Sweden, marking their return to the grand tournament after eight years under manager Graham Potter, had an excellent opening fixture, securing a dominant 5-1 victory against Tunisia. They had a difficult pathway to the competition, qualifying after defeating Poland 3-2 in a thrilling UEFA playoff final.

Both nations have a rich history, playing 25 times before the matchup. The historic fixture is returning to the World Cup after an astonishing 48 years, with their previous meeting coming at the 1974 FIFA World Cup group stage.

Despite the game ending in a lacklustre 0-0 draw, the match etched itself into footballing culture as it marked the first time that legendary Dutch maestro Johan Cruyff debuted his world-famous “Cruyff Turn” to overcome the Swedish defence.

They are placed in Group F of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with both nations set to compete alongside Tunisia and Japan for a top-two spot to qualify automatically to the knockout stages.
