Both Tunisia and Japan will be looking to secure their first win of the 2026 World Cup when they meet on Saturday (or Sunday depending on your time zone) at Estadio BBVA in Guadalupe, Mexico.

Tunisia was swept aside 5–1 by Sweden in its opening Group F match, a result that led to the dismissal of manager Sabri Lamouchi.

Japan, meanwhile, earned a strong 2–2 draw against the Netherlands, leaving the Blue Samurai entering this match as clear favorites.

With Tunisia facing the threat of an early World Cup exit and a new manager in experienced Hervé Renard now in charge, the stage is set for a tense encounter. Will the Eagles of Carthage come out with their claws sharp, or will they be flying home early?

Here’s where and how you can watch the match.
