Is Morocco vs Spain on TV? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch World Cup fixture

Morocco are hoping to go further into a World Cup finals than ever before; one more win and that will be the case, but to do so they will need to beat Spain.

Already Walid Regragui and his side have made history, with the Atlas Lions picking up two victories for the first time at the global tournament.

Spain on the other hand were champions in 2010 but have really struggled to impact since, crashing out in the group stage four years later and the round of 16 in 2018.

They’ve won only once this time around so far, though that was the massive 7-0 triumph over Costa Rica. Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the round of 16 clash.

When is the match on?

The match starts at 3pm GMT on Tuesday 6 December.

Where can I watch it?

This fixture will be broadcast live on ITV 1 and STV and can be streamed via the ITV Hub and STV Player.

The Independent will be covering this game and all others at the World Cup via our live blogs.

Prediction

Morocco have the defensive resolution to frustrate Spain but ultimately there are more attacking reinforcements on the Europeans’ bench than on the Africans’. Spain to progress after extra time, 2-1.
