Salem Aldawsari is set for Spain v Saudi Arabia at 17:00 BST in Group H at the Fifa World Cup 2026. The fixture sits inside the ’s Sunday coverage and gives viewers and listeners one clear start time to follow.
One and iPlayer were listed for TV coverage of Spain v Saudi Arabia and Uruguay v Cape Verde, while Radio 5 Live was set to carry the match on radio. Live text commentary was also listed on the Sport website and app, so the fixture had three ways in front of it before a ball was kicked.
Scott Mullen at Logan Airport
Scott Mullen, speaking at Logan Airport for Sport Scotland, said: “I have never ever seen anything like this.” Nancy also delivered a tannoy message to Scotland fans there, telling them to “keep the faith”.
That travel-side scene sat alongside the match schedule and gave the day a wider World Cup 2026 backdrop. Spain were looking to put a Cape Verde draw behind them, but the source does not say the result of Spain’s match against Saudi Arabia.
Group G on one point
Belgium were also due to take on Iran at 20:00 BST in Group G, where all teams were on one point. New Zealand v Egypt was shown on ITV, and Germany had already sealed progression to the knockouts.
The schedule made Sunday a split-screen day: Spain v Saudi Arabia first, then Belgium v Iran, then TV coverage of Uruguay v Cape Verde at 23:00 BST. For readers following the bracket race, the immediate pull is simple — Spain’s match was the one at 17:00 BST, and the unanswered line is whether they beat Saudi Arabia, and if so, by what score?
