A spot in the World Cup 2026 semi-finals is on the line when Spain and Belgium face off in Los Angeles on Friday evening.

The European champions edged past Iberian neighbours Portugal thanks to Mikel Merino's late goal in the round of 16.

Spain can expect to be tested again in the quarter-finals but are the favourites to progress and will hope to control the game with their pass-heavy approach.

Belgium sparked into life in the last round, thumping USA 4-1, and will hope to build on their best performance at the World Cup so far.

The winner will progress to the last four, where they will face either France or Morocco.

Radio Times has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Spain v Belgium on TV and online.
