How to watch Norway vs Senegal for FREE: Live stream details for a crucial World Cup 2026 Group I

It's always dangerous to assume anything about what lies ahead in a major tournament but Norway vs Senegal feels like Group I's decisive fixture at the World Cup 2026.

Two teams that, on paper, would appear to be battling out as group runners-up meet at the MetLife Stadium. A Norway win should lock off the top two but the opposite would blow the group wide open

Norway vs Senegal: key information

• FREE Stream: ITV (UK) / SBS (AUS)

Senegal lost 3-1 to France in their first match, but matched the two-time world champions for much of the opening hour. Norway, meanwhile, defeated Iraq 4-1 as Erling Haaland did Erling Haaland things to put his side top of the group on goal difference.

According to the live FIFA World Rankings, 17th-ranked Senegal are 10 places higher than Stale Solbakken's side. That gap was 16 places pre-tournament, when the last full and official version of the FIFA World Rankings came out.

A win for the Lions of Teranga in East Rutherford would open Group I back up again as they try to reach the knockout phase for for the third time. Another defeat, though, and they're in big trouble.

Norway vs Senegal: World Cup 2026 Preview

It's easy to normalise Haaland's freakish numbers. Just to be clear, his World Cup goalscoring record is two goals per game. That's from the smallest possible sample size, sure, but he plundered 16 to get Norway there in the first place.

Haaland's brace against Iraq set his team on the path to a first win in North America. A second against either Senegal or France would make it the country's most successful global tournament in terms of wins.

Norway made it out of the group when they last appeared at the World Cup in 1998, when Solbakken was a member of the playing squad, but only picked up one win.

Ibrahim Mbaye's stoppage-time goal was a short-lived oasis for Senegal in a difficult opener against France. They kept the 2018 winners more or less at arm's length for three-quarters of the match but suffered the expected defeat as Kylian Mbappe stepped up.

Senegal's World Cup starts here because it has to. Against Norway, Pape Thiaw's team face a serious challenge to their knock-out round dreams.

The only previous meeting between Norway and Senegal was in a friendly 20 years ago. Senegal claimed a 2-1 win in Dakar – they'd snap your hand off for the same again at the World Cup.
