Germany and Ecuador are set to compete in a pivotal Group E match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Tuesday, June 25, at 4 p.m. ET. The game will take place at the New York New Jersey Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Germany enters the fixture having already secured its position in the Round of 32. The team boasts a perfect record in the tournament thus far, with victories against Curaçao and a narrow win over Côte d’Ivoire. This marks the second time Germany and Ecuador have met in World Cup history, with Germany winning their previous encounter 3-0 in 2006 en route to a semifinal appearance.
Ecuador, conversely, is on the brink of elimination. With a record of 0-1-1 in the group stage, Ecuador must secure at least a draw and rely on other results to advance, but a win against Germany is their most straightforward path to the next round.
The match will be broadcast on FOX in the United States, with a Spanish-language stream available on Telemundo. For viewers without cable, the game can be streamed through live TV services. DIRECTV offers a five-day free trial that includes FOX, and Sling TV provides access to FOX starting at $19.99 per month.
