The Russia World Cup 2018 is officially underway as the host team started things off with a bang in an easy 5-0 defeat of Saudi Arabia. On Friday, three more matches were on the schedule to get the first full weekend truly going. Saturday is going to bring four matches to the fans who are thrilled that the tournament is back in Europe for the first time since 2006. It’s time to check out the schedule for Saturday, July 16, 2018, and give you the time and channels so that you can take in all the action.
Friday’s action is quite the full card, and it all started with Friday and Uruguay which is going on at the time of this writing. Later in the day, two more matches will take place and they can be seen on television in the United States, but make sure to check your local listing.
- Morocco vs. Iran in Saint Petersburg
- Portugal vs. Spain in Sochi
Both of those games are scheduled to air on Fox in the U.S., but some areas of the country may show it live while others will air it on a delay. This is only the beginning of the 25-day tournament, though, and the official website of the FIFA World Cup 2018 details that the championship final will take place on Sunday, July 15.
For now, let’s be ready for the weekend.
