France will face Iraq in their second match of Group I during the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Monday, June 22, 2026, at Philadelphia Stadium on FOX.
This fixture marks the first-ever meeting between these two nations on a senior international stage.
France began its World Cup with a 3-1 win over Senegal. After a rough first half, Les Bleus reminded everyone why they are the tournament favorites with a dominating second half.
Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring in the 65th minute, becoming the third Frenchman with a goal in three World Cups. He followed that with another goal in stoppage time to tie Gerd Müller for the fourth most World Cup goals of all time.
Meanwhile, Iraq comes into this match off a 4-1 loss to Norway. After surrendering an Erling Haaland goal in the opener, Iraq equalized with its second-ever World Cup goal. However, Iraq didn’t have a single shot after the 63rd minute and has now lost all four of its World Cup matches.

France vs. Iraq Prediction, Choose
From FOX Sports activities Wagering Analyst, Chris ‘The Bear’ Fallica:
- France was very quiet for the first 45 minutes vs. Senegal; then a tactical tweak moving Michael Olise to the middle made all the difference. Iraq couldn’t defend against Norway, allowing 11 shots from inside the penalty area, and I would expect a similar, if not worse, struggle here. Take France -2.5.
