Netherlands face Morocco in a 2026 FIFA World Cup knockout fixture at Monterrey Stadium in Monterrey, Mexico. The Oranje finished top of Group F, while the Atlas Lions advance from Group C as runners-up, setting up a round-of-32 meeting between two of the tournament's most watchable sides.

Ronald Koeman's Netherlands arrive in confident shape. A 5-1 dismantling of Sweden was the standout result of their group stage, with Cody Gakpo orchestrating and Denzel Dumfries causing havoc down the right flank. The Dutch have looked settled and potent going forward, and Koeman has already identified Achraf Hakimi as the primary threat his side will need to contain.

Morocco bring their own considerable quality. The Atlas Lions drew 1-1 with Brazil in a statement result before beating Scotland and Haiti to advance. Mohamed Ouahbi's squad is packed with European club talent, and the presence of Brahim Diaz, Bilal El Khannouss, and Ismael Saibari in midfield gives Morocco genuine creativity and pace in transition.

The Dutch will carry the expectation of favourites into this match, but Morocco are no side to be taken lightly. Their 2022 run to the World Cup semi-finals proved they can dismantle more fancied opponents, and they have the personnel to trouble any defence at this tournament.

Koeman's camp is braced for a physical and intense contest. The Netherlands head coach has spoken openly about the challenge Morocco will pose, singling out Paris Saint-Germain full-back Hakimi as a danger in wide areas. Expect the Oranje to set up with discipline as well as ambition.

The Netherlands go into this match having won three of their last five, drawing one and losing one. Their most recent outing was a 1-3 World Cup victory over Tunisia on June 25, following the 5-1 demolition of Sweden on June 20. A 2-2 draw with Japan in their group opener and a 2-1 friendly win over Uzbekistan also feature in that run, with a 0-1 loss to Algeria the only blemish. The Dutch have scored 11 goals and conceded six across those five fixtures, and have won their last two matches in succession.

Morocco arrive with three wins from their last five, drawing the other two. Their most recent result was a 4-2 World Cup victory over Haiti on June 24, with a 0-1 win against Scotland on June 19 before that. The Atlas Lions drew 1-1 with Brazil in a strong group-stage showing, and their five-match run also includes a 1-1 friendly draw with Norway and a 4-0 win over Madagascar. Morocco have scored 11 goals and conceded five across those fixtures.

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
