Colombia vs DR Congo: TV, Stream, Lineups and Kickoff Time

Colombia vs DR Congo is scheduled for Tuesday, June 23, 2026 at Guadalajara Stadium, with kickoff at 8:00 PM local time and 02:00 UTC on June 24. In the United States, check FOX Sports listings for English-language coverage and Telemundo, Universo or Peacock listings for Spanish-language coverage. Because this is the late Group K game, it is worth rechecking the final TV and streaming listing after Portugal vs Uzbekistan finishes earlier in the day.

Official lineups are not confirmed yet. Treat any projected XI as a guide until the team sheets are released close to kickoff. Colombia's main question is whether they keep the same attacking tone from the Uzbekistan win or manage minutes before the Portugal match. DR Congo's question is whether they stay compact through the middle again after frustrating Portugal, or add more pace higher up the pitch to test Colombia earlier.

Colombia are the only Group K team with three points after the first round. Portugal and DR Congo have one each, and Uzbekistan have none. If Colombia win again, they move into a strong position before the Portugal finale. If DR Congo avoid defeat, the group stays compressed and the last round becomes much more difficult to read. The earlier Portugal vs Uzbekistan result will change the mood around this match, but it will not make Guadalajara irrelevant.

Colombia's route is to keep the match moving without making it loose. The win over Uzbekistan showed they can create separation, but DR Congo are a different type of opponent: more comfortable making the night awkward, more likely to force second balls and more willing to make Colombia restart attacks. Colombia need width, patience around the box and enough rest defence behind the ball so the game does not become a counterattacking trade.

DR Congo already proved against Portugal that they do not need the ball all night to take something from a stronger opponent. The route in Guadalajara is similar but not identical. They need compact midfield spacing, clean clearances into useful areas and enough attacking threat to keep Colombia from pushing both fullbacks without consequence. If they can reach the final half-hour level, the pressure will start to feel more like Colombia's problem.

The first 20 minutes should tell you whether Colombia are moving DR Congo's block or just passing in front of it. The second useful check is the live Group K table after Portugal vs Uzbekistan. A Portugal win would make Colombia's chance to stay ahead more valuable; a Portugal slip would make Colombia vs DR Congo a bigger control game. Either way, keep the standings open with it because the score only makes sense inside Group K.
