How to watch Germany vs Curacao: Free streams and TV channels for the 2026 World Cup

Germany’s reputation as tournament specialists has taken a beating over the past decade, with the four-time World Cup winners suffering group stage eliminations in 2018 and 2022.

However, the Mannschaft are ready to return to normal duty at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, led by exciting young playmakers Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz, and the familiar figure of 40-year-old Manuel Neuer in goal. Unsurprisingly, they are heavy favorites going into their Group E opener against tournament debutants Curacao in Houston, where a heavy win would all but guarantee a place in the last 32 and avoid the humiliation of falling at the first hurdle for the third consecutive World Cup.
