Iraq will take on Norway in the second Group I match of the World Cup 2026, at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts. Though neither time is likely to win the tournament, Norway enter the match as favorites, with fans and neutrals alike excited to see how Man City superstar Erling Haaland fares in his first-ever World Cup match.

With Haaland joined by Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard, RB Leipzig star Antonio Nusa, and Atletico Madrid striker Alexander Sorloth, the Norwegians will look to replicate the form they showed in qualifying, where they won all eight matches, scored 37 goals and conceded just five. Their last World Cup appearance came in 1998, when they reached the Round of 16.

Iraq, on the other hand, are ranked 26 places below Norway in the world rankings. Following the sacking of Jesus Casas after the defeat to Palestine in March 2025, Australian coach Graham Arnold has done well to guide the team to just their second World Cup and their first since 1986.

And their recent performances, particularly a recent draw against Spain in one of the warm-ups, should give the Lions of Mesopotamia belief that they can spring a surprise or two and claim their first-ever points in a World Cup.

So, read on as we show you exactly how to watch Iraq vs Norway for free from anywhere in the FIFA World Cup 2026.
