2026 World Cup Third-Place Match

Where to watch France vs England in the 2026 World Cup third-place match in São Paulo

France and England close their 2026 World Cup campaigns in the third-place match. For visitors searching where to watch France vs England in São Paulo, Becoartes in Vila Madalena, beside Batman Alley, is a meeting point with Brazilian food, a bar and an international atmosphere.

Confirmed match: France vs England, Saturday 18 July, 6pm Brasília time, at Miami Stadium. The third-place match opens the decisive weekend before Sunday’s final.

France vs England: the last match of two strong campaigns

France arrive in the third-place match after a difficult semi-final against Spain. The 2-0 loss does not erase a high-level campaign or the weight of a team that began the tournament among the favourites. The challenge is to turn disappointment into focus and finish with a performance that represents the group.

England face a similar situation after losing 2-1 to Argentina. They showed they could compete but missed a final by fine margins. Saturday does not decide the main trophy, yet it asks an important question: how does a team respond when a medal is the final target left?

Mbappé, Kane and the third-place protagonists

Kylian Mbappé remains a reference for France despite the semi-final loss. In a third-place match, decisive players can set the tone: a run, a set piece or a smart choice near the box can change the way a team closes its World Cup.

For England, Harry Kane brings experience and leadership to a squad eager to respond. France vs England also brings together two countries used to major fixtures and attacks capable of creating danger quickly. It is a match worth following from the opening whistle.

France still have the talent and depth to pursue third place.
