World Cup 2026: Watch Saudi Arabia against Uruguay live on free TV

Against Saudi Arabia

Here you can see Uruguay’s start to the World Cup

At the start of the group phase, Saudi Arabia will face Uruguay. t-online gives an overview of where you can watch the duel live.

Uruguay starts the 2026 World Cup as two-time world champions with great ambitions – and will face Saudi Arabia at the start. While the South Americans rely on a strong individual team, the outsider from the Middle East is once again concerned with surviving the group phase.

The focus for Uruguay is primarily on midfield star Federico Valverde from Real Madrid, who is considered the heart of the game. With his dynamism and goal threat, he should carry the team far. Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, has World Cup experience – the team has only missed two finals since 1994 – but has never managed to reach the knockout phase.
