Exciting news for soccer fans: two top teams, France and Spain, are set to face off in the semifinals of the 2026 World Cup on Tuesday, July 14th, at Dallas Stadium in Arlington, Texas. This match is expected to be a fantastic viewing experience – but here’s the catch: one of these powerhouse teams will inevitably have to settle for a shot at third place.
If you’re eager to catch the action live, there are still last-minute tickets available. Kylian Mbappé and his French squad, known as Les Bleus, will take on Lamine Yamal’s Spanish team, La Roja. The current lowest ticket price found on SeatGeek is $1,390, which is slightly better than it was last week.
In fact, that’s over $400 less than what was reported a few days ago. Prices have dropped throughout all areas of the stadium, with 100-level seats now starting at $1,935, down from $3,023 just last Friday. That’s quite a discount, isn’t it?

Regarding match predictions, oddsmakers give France a narrow edge at -140 against Spain, suggesting that France might progress to the final match, where they would face the winner of Argentina vs. England. Yet, don’t rush to count Spain out. Players like Yamal, Rodri, and Pedri have been on an impressive undefeated streak for the last 36 games. They have a chance to equal Italy’s all-time record, and this match also brings back memories of their earlier loss to France in 2006.
Moreover, Luis de la Fuente’s team has recently beaten Didier Deschamps’ squad in their last two encounters, including the 2024 Euro semi-finals and the 2025 UEFA Nations League semi-finals. De la Fuente expressed confidence, saying, “I am sure that France is as concerned about us as we are about France.” He believes that they have the capability to win.
So, will this be another triumphant year for France, or are we about to see Spain advance to the Championship for the first time since 2010? We’ll find out soon enough, but experiencing it live sounds like the way to go.
