FIFA World Cup 2026: How to watch France vs Morocco in the quarter-finals – head-to-head, full schedule
A third consecutive FIFA World Cup last-four appearance beckons for France if they can navigate past Morocco in their quarter-final contest in Boston on Tuesday (9 July).
Les Bleus won their previous encounter against Morocco in their semi-final clash at Qatar 2022, with the French claiming a commanding 2-0 win to advance to the final.
The two-time champions have been in fine fettle so far in the 2026 edition, confirming their status as one of the favourites to hoist the trophy.
France have been the most dangerous team on attack so far in the competition, boasting a total of 14 goals in their five matches.
The irrepressible Kylian Mbappé leads their charge with seven goals, combining with Ousmane Dembélé (four goals) to create a dangerous duo.
Morocco continue to show off their tenacious chops at the global showpiece, advancing deep into the knockout stages.
Four years ago, the Atlas Lions reached the semi-finals for the first time in their history at the tournament.
Following a more treacherous path en route to the quarter-finals, which included a gutsy 1-1 draw against Brazil in their group stage opener, Morocco will be battle-hardened for the match. Morocco will also take some confidence from their 3-0 rout of co-hosts Canada following an Azzedine Ounahi brace.
