Argentina vs Australia live stream: How can I watch World Cup 2022 game for FREE on TV in UK today?

Argentina escaped through a tricky group stage campaign to reach the last-16 of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and now face Australia later today.

Lionel Messi inspired his nation to the knockout rounds, where they will face an Australia side competing at this stage for only the second time in their history. It looks a tall order for the Socceroos to upset the odds against Argentina, but they will be full of confidence after beating Denmark and Tunisia in the groups.

The Ahmad bin Ali Stadium in Al-Rayyan will host this game, with the winner set to face either Netherlands or USA in the quarter-finals.
