Spain<\/a> may have made a sluggish start to their FIFA World Cup 2026<\/a> campaign, drawing 0-0 with Cape Verde, but the 2010 global soccer kings have got their act together since and now that they’ve reached the knockout stages, they’ll be looking to go through the gears and ramp up their efforts.<\/p>\n

Following that shock goalless draw in their tournament opener, La Roja slotted four past Saudi Arabia, thanks to Lamine Yamal and Mikel Oyarzabal, and clinched a 1-0 victory over Uruguay in one of the standout clashes of the group stages.<\/p>\n

Next up for Luis de la Fuente’ flamboyant array of stars, it’s a Round of 32 encounter against Austria at SoFi Stadium on Thursday (July 2).<\/p>\n

Let GOAL show you all the possible routes and opponents that await Spain between now and the World Cup Final on July 19, and how you can book tickets to see them in action on their quest for global glory.<\/p>\n

Spain’s path to the World Cup 2026 Final<\/p>\n

As Spain finished top of Group H, these are the following dates, times and venues where and when they will be playing, if they manage to progress to the World Cup Final on July 19.<\/p>\n

If Spain beat Austria, they will face either Portugal or Croatia in Dallas during the Round of 16. If an Iberian Derby clash with Portugal does happen, it will be the first time that Spain have met Portugal at the World Cup since that stunning 3-3 group stage draw in 2018, in which Ronaldo completed a hat-trick (and grabbed a vital equaliser) with a sublime free-kick in the 88th minute.<\/p>\n

Following the Round of 16, it could be USA or Belgium in the quarter-finals, France or Morocco in the semi-finals and Brazil\/Argentina\/Mexico\/England in the Final.<\/p>\n

Shop: Spain FIFA World Cup 2026 kits<\/p>\n

Spain\u2019s FIFA World Cup 2026<\/a> kits have a fresh yet tradition-rich identity. adidas<\/a> delivers a set rooted in the nation\u2019s footballing DNA, combining classic colour cues with modern detailing ahead of La Roja\u2019s campaign in North America.<\/p>\n

Spain\u2019s home jersey for the 2026 World Cup brings a contemporary polish to one of world football\u2019s most recognisable colourways. A clean red base forms the backdrop for thin repeating yellow pinstripes, inspired directly by the Spanish flag and the national crest. On the back of the neck, the word \u201cESPA\u00d1A\u201d is printed, as a subtle but meaningful touch designed to carry the spirit of the nation into every match.<\/p>\n

Adidas pairs the shirt with navy shorts trimmed in red and yellow, and navy socks that continue the national colour palette, creating a cohesive head-to-toe look that blends tradition with modern performance tech.<\/p>\n
