Jordan and Algeria meet at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium in Santa Clara in a Group J fixture at the 2026 FIFA World Cup that carries serious consequences for both sides.
Jordan arrive in California having lost all three of their warm-up friendlies and then falling to a 3-1 defeat against Austria in their tournament opener. Under coach Jamal Sellami, the Nashama have yet to find their footing on the world stage, and another loss here would effectively end their chances of progressing.

Algeria carry their own baggage into this game. Vladimir Petkovic's side were beaten 3-0 by Argentina in their opening match, a result that was followed by a formal complaint from the Algerian Football Federation to FIFA over refereeing decisions, with the federation contending that Lionel Messi and Alexis Mac Allister should have been dismissed during the contest.
Despite the off-field noise, Algeria showed encouraging signs in their pre-tournament preparation. A win over Bolivia and a victory against the Netherlands in friendly competition demonstrated that Petkovic has real quality available, with Riyad Mahrez and Mohamed Amoura capable of hurting any defence at this level.
For Jordan, the familiar presence of Mousa Tamari offers their most direct route to goal. The winger has been the creative heartbeat of this team, and Sellami will need him at his sharpest if the Nashama are to cause an upset.
Both teams sit at the foot of Group J and cannot afford another defeat. Read on below for all the information you need on how to watch Jordan vs Algeria live.

Jordan head into this match without a win in their last five outings, recording zero victories, two draws, and three defeats. Their most recent result was a 3-1 loss to Austria in their World Cup opener on June 17. Earlier in that run, they drew 2-2 with both Nigeria and Costa Rica in March friendlies, though they also conceded four goals in a 4-1 defeat to Switzerland and lost 2-0 to Colombia. Across those five matches, Jordan scored seven goals and conceded thirteen.
Algeria's recent form tells a more mixed story, with three wins, one draw, and one defeat across their last five games. Their opening World Cup loss to Argentina, a 3-0 defeat on June 17, was their only reverse in that stretch. Before the tournament, they beat Bolivia 4-0 and defeated the Netherlands 1-0 in friendly action, while also drawing 0-0 with Uruguay. A 7-0 demolition of Guatemala in March rounds out a sequence in which Algeria scored twelve goals and conceded three.

JORLast match

That solitary meeting offers little by way of meaningful precedent for what is, in effect, a first competitive encounter between the two nations.
Standings
In Group J, Jordan currently sit third and Algeria fourth after the opening round of fixtures.
