How to watch FIFA World Cup games today
Watch Panama vs. England
England scored an opening win against Croatia, which cast the Three Lions as serious contenders. But a frustrating draw against Ghana felt like a step back, so England are aiming to decisively beat Panama and get their World Cup dream back on track.
Live coverage will be on Fox and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.
Watch Croatia vs. Ghana
Croatia bounced back from the England loss to beat Panama 1-0 in their last game. A win against Ghana in this last group game would secure them second place in Group L and an automatic spot in the knockout stage. Can Luka Modric lead them to success? Or will Ghana hold firm as they did against England?
Live coverage will be on FS1 and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.
Watch Colombia vs. Portugal
Cristiano Ronaldo rediscovered his form in a 5-0 win over Uzbekistan, scoring two goals. Now Portugal must beat group leaders Colombia to win Group K overall. Ronaldo will also want to match GOAT rival Lionel Messi for number of goals scored at the tournament.

There's not much between these teams. Both have won one, lost one so far, and they'e now battling for second place in Group J. Austria are probably the favorites here but anything can happen with the knockouts on the horizon.
