France - Sweden on TV? Channel, kick-off and how to watch the World Cup round of 32

France are looking to extend their fantastic form from the group stage into the World Cup round of 32 against Graham Potter's Sweden. The Blues made a strong impression by dominating Senegal, Iraq and Norway, scoring at least three goals in each meeting. Kylian Mbappé, author of four goals in the group stage and still in the race for the Golden Shoe, will want to increase his total against the Swedes, widely considered to be the outsiders of the match.

This Sweden qualified by finishing among the best thirds, but will have to achieve an exploit to prevent the progression of Didier Deschamps, back on the bench after briefly returning to France for his mother's funeral.

When and where? The France - Sweden match kicks off at 10 p.m. BST (5 p.m. ET) on Tuesday June 30 at New York/New Jersey Stadium.
