Austria Vs Tunisia Set June 1 Friendly Before World Cup
Austria vs Tunisia arrives on June 1, 2026, with both teams using the match as their final preparation before the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Kickoff is set for 2:45 PM, and Austria head coach Ralf Rangnick gets one last look at his squad before the tournament begins.
Rangnick’s Final Look
Austria enter the friendly after beating Ghana and South Korea in March, including a 1-0 win over South Korea. They have won three of their last five matches, scored nine goals, and conceded four across that span.
The only loss in that run came against Romania in World Cup qualifying in October 2025. That leaves Rangnick with a clean late-spring test: Austria have no listed injuries or suspensions, but no probable lineup has been released from his camp.
Tunisia’s April 1 Draw
Tunisia arrive with a shorter recent run that still includes a 0-0 draw with Canada on April 1 and a 1-0 win over Haiti before that. Over their last five matches, they have won two, lost two and drawn one.
Three of those five games came at the Africa Cup of Nations, where Tunisia drew with Tanzania and lost to Mali and Nigeria. They go into this match drawn in Group F with Sweden, Japan and the Netherlands, so the Austria trip fits directly into their World Cup build.
One Previous 0-0 Meeting
The sides have met once in the available head-to-head record, a friendly on November 21, 2007 that ended 0-0. That makes this a rare matchup as well as a useful checkpoint for both teams before the World Cup starts.
Viewers in the United States can watch live on Fubo, ViX and Tubi. Austria are headed to their first World Cup since 1998 and will be in Group J with Jordan, Argentina and Algeria, while Tunisia also get one last competitive look before squads are locked in.
