Luis de la Fuente’s Spain will look to get their World Cup 2026 qualification campaign off to a winning start as they travel to Sofia to take on a Bulgaria team looking to arrest a concerning decline. Currently No. 2 in the world rankings, Spain will hope to bounce back from an agonising penalty shoot-out defeat to Portugal in the Nations League final back in June.

While Bulgaria was once something of a mainstay at World Cups, it’s now been 27 years since the country last qualified for football’s most prestigious tournament. Recent results suggest it will struggle to end that run, having been thrashed 4-0 by Greece in a friendly back in June, with Ilian Iliev’s team managing just one victory from their last eight matches.
Bulgaria takes on Spain at the Vasil Levski National Stadium in Sofia on Thursday, Aug. 4. Kickoff is set for 9:45 p.m. EEST local time. That makes it a 8:45 p.m. CET start across Europe, a 7:45 p.m. BST kickoff in the UK, and a 2:45 p.m. ET or 11:45 a.m. PT kickoff in the US and Canada. For viewers in Australia, the game gets underway at 4:45 a.m. AEST on Friday morning.
