Who are the announcers on Fox for the France vs Spain 2026 World Cup semifinal game?
‘Les Bleus’ meet ‘La Roja’ in a repeat of the semifinal game at Euro 2024 which saw Spain prevail and set up a final against England.
Four sides remain in contention to lift the biggest prize in world soccer next Sunday at the New Jersey/New York Stadium as the semifinals of the 2026 World Cup throw up two mouth-watering games as England face Argentina on Wednesday after Spain face France in Dallas on Tuesday.
For Luis de la Fuente’s Spain side, the 2026 tournament offers the current European champions the chance to add to their sole World Cup victory which came back in 2010 when they saw off the Netherlands thanks to an extra-time winner from Andres Iniesta in South Africa.
Two time winners France (1998 and 2014) will be looking to avenge their 2024 European Championship semi final defeat against Spain in Munich where Lamine Yamal lit up the Allianz Arena with one of the finest goals on the big stage in recent times to see La Roja progress.
