France's World Cup 2026 Group Stage Fixtures
France landed in Group I alongside Senegal, Norway and one qualifier, creating what many call the tournament's "Group of Death."
France Group Stage Matches:
- June 16, 9pm UK time: France vs Senegal (BBC One) - rematch of 2002's famous upset
- June 26, 9pm UK time: Norway vs France (ITV 1) - Mbappé vs Haaland showdown
- Date TBC: France vs TBD qualifier (channel TBC)
The France vs Senegal opener carries history. Senegal shocked the world by beating defending champions France 1-0 in the 2002 World Cup opener. Les Bleus seek revenge 24 years later. The Norway clash on June 26 delivers the tournament's most anticipated individual battle - Kylian Mbappé versus Erling Haaland, two generational talents leading their nations.
Where French Communities Watch in the UK:
London leads for French expat populations, with South Kensington, Clapham and Shepherd's Bush hosting the largest concentrations. Pubs in these areas transform into mini Paris during France matches, with tricolore flags, French commentary on request, and crowds singing La Marseillaise.
Edinburgh's Leith area and Manchester's city centre also host significant French communities. Brighton's North Laine attracts younger French residents who pack local pubs for Les Bleus fixtures.
Beyond French expat pubs, neutral football fans watch France for the sheer quality. Mbappé, Griezmann and Dembélé deliver entertainment that transcends national allegiance.
