Who is playing today in the World Cup comes down to Day 9’s four group stage matches, led by the United States against Australia in Seattle and Brazil against Haiti in Philadelphia. All four games air on FOX or FS1 and stream live on FOX One, giving viewers one place to track the full slate.
Folarin Balogun is the sharpest reason to watch the United States. He scored two goals in the 4-1 opening win over Paraguay, and Pochettino now gets a second Group D test with Australia after that start.
United States and Australia
The United States opened with a 4-1 win over Paraguay, while Australia arrived on the same Day 9 slate after a 2-0 opening win over Türkiye. S. Dest and Pulisic are part of the group around Balogun, but the early scoring came from the forward who finished two chances in the opener.
Australia’s start matters because it came against the same Türkiye side that appears later on Day 9 against Paraguay on the West Coast. That keeps Group D tight across the day and turns each result into part of the same table math instead of separate games.
Brazil, Morocco, and Haiti
Brazil enters its match against Haiti after a disappointing 1-1 draw with Morocco. Marquinhos leads Brazil, and the draw left the group with less margin than a team of its size usually expects after the first round of matches.
Morocco’s side of that opening game included L. Bouaddi in his World Cup debut, a detail that adds another layer to the Day 9 schedule because Scotland meets Morocco in Boston in Group C. G. Gomez also matters to the day because Paraguay’s captain and top central defender already faced the United States in the opening round.
FOX, FS1, and FOX One
The practical part for viewers is simple: the four Day 9 matches are split across FOX and FS1, with live streaming on FOX One. That means the day is built for a steady watch plan, not a single showcase window, and the listed games are the ones to circle if you want the full group-stage picture.
For anyone asking which TV coverage matters most, the answer is the same across the slate: FOX, FS1, and FOX One carry the day. The only thing left for viewers is the order of kickoff times, which the schedule format organizes across the four matches on Day 9.
