South Africa and Canada meet in their 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 32 match on Sunday, June 28, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. ET from Los Angeles Stadium. Canada makes its first-ever World Cup knockout appearance with attacking firepower intact but a midfield hole to fill. Ismaël Koné is out for the tournament with a broken leg, leaving Jesse Marsch to lean on Jonathan David and Cyle Larin to carry the offensive load against a disciplined South African back line. The Canadians allowed eight goals in the group stage, six of them against Qatar, but showed they can generate sustained pressure. They’ll need to do it again. Hugo Broos’ Bafana Bafana have already beaten the odds just by being here, competing in their first World Cup since hosting in 2010, they advanced out of Group A by winning 1-0 over South Korea while controlling just 30% of the ball. Teboho Mokoena returns from suspension to anchor the midfield, though Themba Zwane sits out due to his red card against Mexico. South Africa won’t outpossess Canada. It doesn’t need to. If Bafana Bafana can absorb pressure, stay compact and force a mistake, this match is theirs to steal. Below are the details on how to watch.
