Cape Verde will aim to build on their remarkable draw against Spain as they prepare for their second World Cup 2026 fixture, where they face Uruguay.
Marcelo Bielsa’s Uruguay, meanwhile, will be eager to bounce back after a somewhat frustrating draw with Saudi Arabia in their opening group match.
As football fans wonder whether another upset could be on the horizon, the BBC has confirmed its commentary and pundit team for UK audiences.
UK viewers can watch the match live on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, with kick-off set for 11:00 PM BST. Coverage begins 30 minutes earlier, led by presenter Alex Scott, who transitioned into broadcasting after a successful playing career with Arsenal and the England Lionesses.
Joining Scott in the studio are two experienced figures from the football world – former Swansea City and Wales captain Ashley Williams, and South African football legend Benni McCarthy, who also served as a coach at Manchester United in recent years.
The main commentary duties for this match will be handled by Liam McLeod. A veteran broadcaster with over two decades of experience at the BBC, McLeod is currently the lead football commentator for BBC Scotland.
Providing expert analysis alongside McLeod is James McFadden, the former Scotland international who represented clubs such as Everton, Motherwell, and Birmingham City before retiring from professional football.
