The Round of 16 at the 2026 World Cup continues this Monday with a blockbuster showdown between Portugal and Spain. The match will take place in Texas, USA, with kick-off scheduled for 19:00 GMT.

Portugal booked their ticket to this stage by defeating Croatia (2-1), while Spain cruised past Austria with a convincing 3-0 victory.

This clash also carries a sense of revenge for La Roja. The two sides last met on June 8, 2025, in the UEFA Nations League final. After a spectacular 2-2 draw, Portugal lifted the trophy following a dramatic penalty shootout.

On the refereeing front, Englishman Anthony Taylor will be in charge, assisted by fellow countrymen Gary Beswick and Adam Nunn. Germany's Felix Zwayer will serve as fourth official, with compatriot Robert Kempter on standby as reserve referee.
