The Netherlands' 2026 World Cup schedule
The Netherlands is in Group F alongside Japan, Sweden, and Tunisia — one of the more competitive groups in the tournament:
| Match | Date | Venue | Channel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Netherlands vs. Sweden | June 14 | NRG Stadium, Houston | FOX/FS1 |
| Netherlands vs. Japan | June 20 | AT&T Stadium, Dallas | FOX/FS1 |
| Netherlands vs. Tunisia | June 25 | (varies by schedule) | FOX/FS1 |
The Netherlands roster: Players to watch
Manager Ronald Koeman leads an Oranje squad that mixes Dutch technical tradition with athletic modern profiles. Cody Gakpo (Liverpool) leads the attack on the left wing, fresh off a Champions League-winning campaign. Tijjani Reijnders (Manchester City) has emerged as one of the best box-to-box midfielders in the Premier League. Memphis Depay is the all-time leading scorer and the experienced attacking presence. Frenkie de Jong continues to dictate tempo from deep midfield, while Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool) anchors a defense that also features Nathan Aké and Jurriën Timber. Bart Verbruggen (Brighton) has emerged as the No. 1 goalkeeper. Rising star Xavi Simons provides creative spark in attacking midfield.
The Netherlands storyline: Three finals, zero trophies
The Netherlands has the unfortunate distinction of being the best country never to win a World Cup, with three Final appearances (1974, 1978, 2010) and three runner-up finishes. After a quarterfinal exit to eventual champions Argentina in 2022, Oranje enters 2026 with a generation of players in their prime, a respected manager in Koeman, and a Group F draw that — while not easy — is navigable. Japan and Sweden both bring serious quality, making this one of the tournament's most-watched groups, but the Netherlands has the talent to win the group and set up a favorable knockout path.
