India vs Argentina live streaming, TV channel, where & how to watch FIH Men's Hockey World Cup 2026?
With one match remaining for each team, India are currently positioned last in Pool E
The Indian men’s hockey team suffered their second defeat at the FIH Men’s Hockey World Cup 2026 on August 22, when they took the field against arguably the strongest team in the competition.
World No. 1 Netherlands outplayed and outclassed the Indian side, despite a strong resistance from the Indian defence, particularly in the first two quarters.
The hosts eventually drove home the advantage to win 3-1, leaving India’s semi-final qualification hopes hanging by a thread. Earlier in the first round, India were beaten by England too, which means they are the only team in Pool E yet to register a win.

Argentina’s victory against England meant India stay alive in the race to finish in the top two. Hence, the contest between India and Argentina becomes all the more crucial for both teams.
Only a win might not be enough for India, as they require the Netherlands to defeat England later. Moreover, India must win by a margin of at least four goals against Argentina, to climb to the second position.
Argentina, on the other hand, are likely to qualify if they can manage a win or even a draw, provided that the Netherlands beat England later.
