How to Watch Spain vs. Austria: Live Stream, TV Channel, and Kickoff Time for World Cup Round of 32

Spain faces Austria in the Round of 32, with Spain aiming to regain their World Cup momentum after a solid group stage performance. Austria, on the other hand, barely secured their spot with a dramatic late equalizer.

Spain's Road So Far

Spain topped Group H but showed some inconsistency. They started with a scoreless draw against Cape Verde, then bounced back with a commanding 4-0 victory over Saudi Arabia, followed by a narrow 1-0 win over Uruguay. Mikel Oyarzabal leads Spain’s scoring with two goals, while young talent Lamine Yamal has added one.

Spain won the World Cup in 2010 but have stumbled early in recent tournaments, exiting at the Round of 16 in both 2018 and 2022.

Austria’s Unexpected Journey

Austria advanced from Group J as runners-up after a chaotic 3-3 draw with Algeria, where Sasa Kalajdzic scored deep into stoppage time to keep them alive. This marks their first World Cup appearance since 1998, when they failed to progress past the group stage. Their best finishes date back to third place in 1954 and fourth place in 1934.

Marko Arnautovic is Austria’s top scorer with two goals. Midfielders Konrad Laimer and Marcel Sabitzer provide strength and creativity as Austria looks to cause an upset.
