Watch Portugal vs DR Congo as Cristiano Ronaldo’s latest quest for global glory begins at the FIFA World Cup 2026, and you can live stream the game, from Houston, around the world for free.
This is surely the five-time Ballon d’Or winner’s last chance to win football’s biggest prize, given he will be 45 when the next tournament kicks off in 2030. Portugal might just be in the best shape they’ve been across all of Ronaldo’s six World Cups, boasting arguably Joao Neves, Vitinha and Bruno Fernandes in arguably the tournament’s strongest midfield, plus several other stars including Ruben Dias, Bernardo Silva and Pedro Neto. Roberto Martinez’s side will expect to take control of an inviting Group K against DR Congo as they begin their pursuit of a maiden world crown.
DR Congo’s expectations are a little more modest as they appear at the tournament for only the second time, and the first since 1974. Back then, they were called Zaire, lost 9-0 to Yugoslavia and failed to score a single goal, so simply finding the net in North America would represent progress. Their squad includes several familiar faces such as West Ham United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Newcastle United forward Yoane Wissa, while Real Betis striker Cedric Bakambu leads the line. Though underdogs, the Leopards knocked out Cameroon and Nigeria in the CAF play-offs and are no mugs.
