Co-hosts Canada will face Switzerland in Vancouver knowing they will finish top of Group B at the 2026 FIFA World Cup if they avoid defeat – and you can stream the match live anywhere in the world for free.
It’s not often that a 6-0 win can leave you feeling a little empty, but you could forgive Canada’s staff and players for being a little flat following their loss to Qatar after the match was overshadowed by a serious leg injury to midfielder Ismael Kone. The incident left coach Jesse Marsch in tears and emotions continued to run high when substitute Nathan Saliba, who replaced Kone, scored the co-hosts’ fourth goal and held up his teammate’s jersey in tribute. Marsch and his players need to refocus quickly upon their return to BC Place. Their reward for avoiding defeat will not only be first place in Group B, but also a round of 16 match here in Vancouver.
After a frustrating 1-1 draw against Qatar and a scoreless 70 minutes against Bosnia and Herzegovina, Switzerland’s World Cup came alive with four late goals to beat the latter 4-1 in Los Angeles. The main architects of this victory were substitutes Johan Manzambi and Ruben Vargas, involved in all four goals. Manzambi scored twice while Vargas added a goal and an assist, with both surely in contention to start against Canada. Switzerland’s place for a fourth consecutive knockout stage is already almost assured, but it lags behind the co-hosts in terms of goal difference. Coach Murat Yakin could therefore just as easily aim for the victory which would put them above their current opponents and finish at the top of Group B.
While unlikely, neither team is guaranteed to advance, so both will be looking for the point to secure the knockouts.
