Overview
- The Group F game is being played Saturday, June 20, 2026 at NRG Stadium in Houston and both teams published starting lineups that include Frenkie de Jong for the Netherlands and Alexander Isak for Sweden with Michael Oliver appointed as referee.
- Sweden opened the tournament with a 5-1 win over Tunisia while the Netherlands drew 2-2 with Japan, a contrast that means a Swedish victory would put them near qualification and a Dutch win is crucial to stay competitive in the group.
- Dejan Kulusevski is absent from Sweden’s squad because of a knee ligament rupture that required surgery in May 2025, forcing coach Graham Potter to reshuffle his attacking options and increasing responsibility on Isak and Viktor Gyökeres.
- The match is available on multiple broadcasts depending on territory, including TyC Sports, DSports, Flow (channel 109) and Paramount+ in parts of Latin America and FOX/Telemundo and streaming partners in the United States.
- The fixture adds another chapter to a long, balanced Holland–Sweden rivalry and, given it is the second group match, the outcome will substantially clarify which teams control qualification paths from Group F.
