The World Cup is back at Arrowhead tonight: Tunisia face the Netherlands in the Group F finale in Kansas City (6:00 p.m. CT). Later, Team USA closes out Group D against Türkiye at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles (9:00 p.m. CT) — a separate game, in a different city. Here is what to know before kickoff and how to watch both.

Tonight at Arrowhead: Tunisia vs. Netherlands

The World Cup returns to Kansas City tonight as Tunisia face the Netherlands in the final round of Group F at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. Kickoff is 6:00 p.m. CT (7:00 p.m. ET) on Thursday, June 25, 2026.

It is the last of the Arrowhead group-stage matches on the calendar before the tournament shifts toward the knockout rounds, and it carries real stakes for both sides as the group is decided.

What's on the line

Heading into the final matchday, the Netherlands sit at the top of Group F and are in control of their path into the knockout stage, while Tunisia are still looking for their first points of the tournament. Group standings after two rounds:

- Netherlands — 4 points - Japan — 4 points - Sweden — 3 points - Tunisia — 0 points

A result tonight goes a long way toward locking up the Dutch position at the top of the group; for Tunisia, it's a chance to leave the tournament with a statement performance in front of a Kansas City crowd. Final group placings can also hinge on the simultaneous Group F match, so every goal counts.

Heading to the stadium

If you have tickets, plan to arrive early — security and entry lines move slower on a World Cup match day than a typical Arrowhead event, and summer heat is a factor for an evening kickoff. Check the latest on weather, parking and gates before you leave, give yourself extra time, and have your mobile ticket ready.

Team USA plays tonight, too: USA vs. Türkiye

Kansas City fans have a second match to circle tonight. The United States men's national team takes on Türkiye in Group D, with kickoff at 9:00 p.m. CT (10:00 p.m. ET) at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

The U.S. comes in flying: an opening 4–1 win over Paraguay and a 2–0 win over Australia have the hosts through to the knockout round and playing for top spot in the group and an undefeated group stage. Türkiye, meanwhile, are still searching for their first goal of the tournament after losses to Australia and Paraguay. It is the first-ever World Cup meeting between the two nations.

If you're not at Arrowhead, it's a natural night to catch both games — the Arrowhead match at 6 and Team USA at 9 — at a local watch party.

How to watch

Both matches are part of the U.S. World Cup broadcast on FOX networks (in English) and Telemundo (in Spanish) — check your local listings and streaming apps for the exact channel. Tunisia vs. Netherlands kicks off at 6:00 p.m. CT; USA vs. Türkiye at 9:00 p.m. CT.
