TV channel and live stream options for Colombia vs Ghana are listed below. In Canada, the match is available on TSN1 and TSN+, with French-language coverage on RDS and the RDS Apps.
Colombia take on Ghana in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 32 at Kansas City Stadium, with a place in the last 16 at stake for both nations.
Néstor Lorenzo's side arrive as Group K winners, having collected seven points from three matches. A composed goalless draw against Portugal in Miami sealed top spot and underlined just how settled this Colombian squad has become under Lorenzo's management.
Ghana's path here was far less straightforward. Carlos Queiroz's side finished third in Group L on four points, advancing as one of the tournament's best third-placed teams. A disciplined draw against England and a 1-0 win over Panama proved enough to carry them through, despite a 2-1 defeat to Croatia in their final group outing.
James Rodríguez remains the creative heartbeat of this Colombia team. The 34-year-old captain exchanged warm words with former Real Madrid team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo after the Portugal stalemate, and his ability to find space between opposition lines will be central to Los Cafeteros' ambitions in the knockout rounds.
Ghana's hopes of causing an upset rest heavily on Thomas Partey's influence in central midfield. If the experienced midfielder can disrupt Colombia's rhythm and limit the supply reaching Luis Díaz, the Black Stars will fancy their chances of staying in the contest long enough to threaten on the counter.
