Spain vs Austria Live Streaming: How to Watch FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 32 Match from Anywhere

Spain will face Austria in their Round of 32 clash on Thursday at Los Angeles Stadium. Spain have been one of the tournament’s standout defensive teams, yet to concede a goal at the World Cup. They are one of only two teams to have kept a clean sheet in every match so far, with Mexico being the other.

The former world champions head into their high-stakes FIFA World Cup Round of 32 match with a few selection headaches after suffering two injury setbacks in their final group-stage game against Uruguay. The biggest blow is the absence of star winger Nico Williams, who has been ruled out with a groin injury.

Spain Reassess Team Strength

Forward Yeremy Pino will also miss the match after picking up a shoulder injury that is believed to be a fractured collarbone. With both attackers unavailable, Alex Baena is expected to come into the starting lineup alongside Lamine Yamal and Mikel Oyarzabal.

In midfield, head coach Luis de la Fuente has decisions to make, with Dani Olmo and Fabián Ruiz both pushing for a place alongside Rodri and Pedri, potentially at the expense of Mikel Merino.

At the back, Marcos Llorente and Pedro Porro remain in contention for the starting right-back role.

Meanwhile, Austria head into this crucial knockout match in solid shape, with no major fitness concerns following their entertaining 3-3 draw against Algeria. Head coach Ralf Rangnick has a fully fit squad available, with no new injuries or suspensions, giving him the freedom to field his strongest possible lineup.

Captain David Alaba briefly raised concerns after experiencing some minor discomfort, but he has been cleared by the medical staff and is expected to lead the defense. Veteran striker Marko Arnautović is also fit to start despite taking a heavy knock to his knee in Austria’s final group-stage match.

Rangnick is expected to stick with Xaver Schlager and Nicolas Seiwald in central midfield, while Saša Kalajdžić could provide a valuable attacking option off the bench if Austria need a different approach later in the game.
