FIFA World Cup schedule today: June 23How to watch FIFA World Cup games todayWatch Portugal vs. Uzbekistan
Portugal entered the World Cup as one of the favorites to win thanks to a superstar squad led by Cristiano Ronaldo. But they faltered in the opening game against lower-ranked DR Congo, a game that ended 1-1. It was a poor start for CR7, who has failed to score in 10 straight international games. The smart money is on Portugal turning things around against Uzbekistan — but the group stage is always full of surprises.
Live coverage will be on FOX and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.
Watch England vs. Ghana
England overcame a defensively weak first half against Croatia and scored a decisive win, putting to rest any questions over their squad selection. Fans would expect them to beat Ghana and secure a spot in the knockout stage — particularly with goal scorers Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, and Marcus Rashford in good form.

Watch Panama vs. Croatia
Croatia are always a team to watch at big tournaments. Led by Luka Modric, they reached the final and semi-final at the last two World Cups. But they suffered a morale-crushing loss to England in their opening game and need to beat Panama to stand a chance of progressing beyond the group stage. Is this generation of Croatian players past their best? Or will they prove that the England loss was just a blip?

Watch Colombia vs. DR Congo
Colombia scored big in their opening game, beating Uzbekistan 3-1, while DR Congo surprised fans by holding Portugal to a draw. That makes this a crucial group fixture. Colombia will be the favorites here, but DR Congo have already defied the odds once in this tournament. As Cape Verde have proved against Spain and Uruguay, it’s possible for lightning to strike twice.
