Is Germany v Ivory Coast on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch World Cup 2026 match

Germany meet Ivory Coast in Toronto knowing a win for either will secure their passage into the knockout stages and all but guarantee top spot with a round of fixtures still to play.

Julian Nagelsmann’s side may have scored seven against minnows Curacao in their opener but it was not until the second half that they pulled away and the Mannschaft’s head coach remains under an intense spotlight at home from a punditry team led by Jurgen Klopp.

Now they face the far sterner prospect of this meeting against an Ivorian team possessing plenty of attacking talent. Amad scored the late winner against Ecuador with plenty of eyes on young winger Yan Diomande amid interest from a host of big European clubs. Diomande was outstanding against Ecuador while several team-mates showed some early nerves in their tournament debuts.
