Spain hosts Iraq at Estadio Riazor in La Coruña on Thursday, June 4, in an international friendly as both nations continue building toward the 2026 World Cup.
La Roja enter as the reigning European champions after breezing through qualifying, though they may be without star winger Lamine Yamal, who is still recovering from a hamstring issue. Iraq qualified for their first World Cup since 1986 by advancing through AFC qualifying and defeating Bolivia in the intercontinental play-offs.
That is the kind of timeline that turns planning into calendar management.
Kick-off is set for 3 p.m. ET. Viewers in the UK can watch on ITV 1 UK, ITV 4, ITVX, UTV, or S4C. Those in the US can stream via Amazon Prime Video, FuboTV, or ViX. Canadian audiences have options through DAZN Canada or fuboTV Canada.
The result will serve as final preparation before both teams open their World Cup campaigns. Spain faces newcomer Cape Verde in Group H on June 15, while Iraq meets Norway on June 17—marking their first World Cup appearance in 40 years.
