The fixture: France vs Morocco, the rematch

This quarter-final has a special flavour: it’s the rematch of the 2022 semi-final, won 2-0 back then by France. The two teams know each other inside out, and Morocco — a genuine sensation of recent World Cups — arrives determined to take revenge. Needless to say, Bordeaux, a cosmopolitan city passionate about sport, will be buzzing in front of the screens.

The other 2026 World Cup quarter-finals

France vs Morocco isn’t the only clash of this round: the three other quarter-finals follow in quick succession, also to be watched in front of Bordeaux’s screens. Here’s the full schedule (French time):

Where to watch the match in Bordeaux

As it’s not a host city of the World Cup (the matches are played in North America), Bordeaux experiences the tournament in front of the screens. To make sure you don’t miss a thing:

• Sports bars and brasseries in the centre and along the quays, which broadcast the big matches on screen — remember to book, it will be busy.
• With friends or family, in a friendly atmosphere at home.
• On a terrace, to enjoy the mild Bordeaux summer evening.

We don’t recommend any particular venue: check the schedule and booking directly with the places showing the match.

A fan zone in Bordeaux?

Good question — and the answer is nuanced. For this stage of the tournament, Bordeaux has not planned a giant fan zone: the City has said it would only set up a big screen if Les Bleus reached the final. So this quarter-final will mainly be watched in bars, brasseries and at home. Enough to keep an eye on the France team’s journey… while hoping that giant screen eventually sees the light of day.
