Spain vs Egypt Friendly: Kickoff time, venue and where to watch

A high-profile international friendly between Spain and Egypt is set to take centre stage as both sides continue preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The match will be played at the RCDE Stadium, home of Espanyol, during the March 2026 international break. It presents an important test for both teams as they fine-tune their squads ahead of the global showpiece.

The upcoming World Cup, which will be jointly hosted by United States, Canada, and Mexico, is scheduled to kick off on June 11 in Mexico City and conclude on July 19 in New York-New Jersey. The tournament is widely anticipated to be one of the most competitive editions yet.

Egypt head into the encounter with confidence following an emphatic 4-0 victory over Saudi Arabia at the Al-Inma Stadium. That performance highlighted the attacking improvements within the squad, something head coach Hossam Hassan will be eager to build on against a top European opponent.

The North African side has been drawn in Group G for the World Cup alongside Belgium national football team, Iran national football team, and New Zealand national football team, setting up a group that promises to be competitive despite appearing balanced on paper.

The friendly between Spain and Egypt is scheduled for Tuesday, March 31, 2026. Kickoff is set for 9:00 PM Egyptian time and 10:00 PM Saudi Arabia time.

Fans will be able to watch the match live on ON Sport 1, with streaming also available via the TOD TV platform, where the game will be accompanied by commentary from Ali Mohammed Ali.

With both nations aiming to sharpen their tactical approach and build momentum, the clash is expected to offer valuable insights into their readiness for football’s biggest stage.
