The second round of group stage games goes out with a bang: star-studded Brazil-Switzerland and Portugal-Uruguay matchups. And if you brave the early hours for the 5 a.m. kickoff, you’ll be able to see if the Union’s Olivier Mbaizo makes his World Cup debut for Cameroon.
Here’s how to watch all the action.
FS1′s coverage window is from 4 a.m. to 10 a.m., and Fox’s is from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The late studio show is at 11 p.m. on FS1 and midnight on Fox. Telemundo’s coverage is nonstop from 4 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and its late studio show is at midnight.

FoxSports.com and TelemundoDeportes.com require authentication through participating pay-TV providers. Peacock is NBC and Telemundo’s subscription streaming service. The first 12 games of the World Cup will be available on Peacock’s free tier, then the rest will be behind the subscription paywall.
Fox also has replays of every game for free on its streaming platform Tubi.
Betting odds: Cameroon +420, Serbia -140, tie +260
Players to watch
Cameroon: Collins Fai. He’s picked here for the second game in a row because he got a yellow card in the Indomitable Lions’ opener. If he gets booked in this game, he’ll be suspended for the group stage finale, which could open the door for Mbaizo to play.
Serbia: Aleksandar Mitrović. The team’s No. 1 striker had zero shots against Brazil.

Group H: South Korea vs. Ghana
Time: 8 a.m.
Venue: Education City Stadium, Al Rayyan
English TV/streaming: FS1 and FoxSports.com (Ian Darke on play-by-play with analyst Landon Donovan and referee expert Joe Machnik)

Betting odds: South Korea +155, Ghana +200, tie +200
Players to watch
South Korea: Hwang Ui-jo. It’s nice that his team held Uruguay to just one shot on target, but if they want to advance they’ve got to score now. That starts with Hwang, the starting striker and No. 2 scorer behind star Son Heung-min.
Ghana: Jordan Ayew. The 32-year-old is now in his third World Cup, and scored against Portugal in the Black Stars’ 3-2 loss to start the tournament. American fans don’t need reminding of the previous two World Cups he played in, because he played against the United States of both of them.

Group G: Brazil vs. Switzerland
Time: 11 a.m.
Venue: Stadium 974, Doha
English TV/streaming: Fox29 and FoxSports.com (Derek Rae on play-by-play with analyst Aly Wagner, reporter Rodolfo Landeros and referee expert Mark Clattenburg)
Spanish TV/streaming: Telemundo 62, TelemundoDeportes.com and Peacock (Sammy Sadovnik on play-by-play with analysts Eduardo Biscayart and Mauro Silva and referee expert Jaime Herrera Garduño)
Betting odds: Brazil -230, Switzerland +650, tie +340
Players to watch
Brazil: Richarlison. Not just because of the amazing bicycle kick goal he scored against Serbia, but because Neymar is out injured for the rest of the group stage. That increases the importance of the rest of Brazil’s attacking stars, and Richarlison leads the line as the striker.
Switzerland: Noah Okafor. The 22-year-old striker probably won’t start, but he should come off the bench. You want to know about him, because he could be the next big star produced by Red Bull Salzburg.

Group H: Portugal vs. Uruguay
Time: 2 p.m.
Venue: Lusail Stadium, Lusail
English TV/streaming: Fox29 and FoxSports.com (John Strong on play-by-play with analyst Stuart Holden, reporter Geoff Shreeves and referee expert Mark Clattenburg)
Spanish TV/streaming: Telemundo 62, TelemundoDeportes.com and Peacock (Andrés Cantor on play-by-play with analysts Diego Forlán and Manuel Sol and referee expert Horacio Elizondo)
Betting odds: Portugal -105, Uruguay +320, tie +230
Players to watch
Portugal: Cristiano Ronaldo. Let’s be clear — he is not the first person to score goals in five World Cups. He’s the first man. Christine Sinclair and Marta have done it on the women’s side. And Ronaldo should know of Sinclair by now, because when he became the top scorer in men’s national team history, Sinclair had more goals for Canada’s women.
Other than that, when Ronaldo plays against Luis Suárez and Edinson Cavani, of course he’s a player to watch.
Uruguay: Luis Suárez. Did you think it would be anyone else?
