Jordan vs Algeria Live Stream: Where to Watch Free

Group J turns into a straight knockout on matchday two, and the Jordan vs Algeria live stream is one to plan ahead for. Both sides lost their World Cup 2026 schedule openers, so whoever wins this one keeps their last 16 hopes alive going into the final round. Here is everything you need: kickoff time, TV channel, predicted lineups and the best free ways to watch from anywhere in the world.

Match details

Tournament Context: World Cup Group J

Group J of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Groups stage is built around defending champions Argentina, with Algeria, Austria and debutants Jordan filling out the section. On matchday one, Argentina beat Algeria 3-0 in Kansas City while Austria beat Jordan 3-1 in Santa Clara, with Ali Olwan scoring Jordan’s first-ever World Cup goal. That leaves Jordan third on goal difference and Algeria fourth, but both still sit on zero points.

The full Group J schedule:

• June 16: Argentina 3-0 Algeria – Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City
• June 16: Austria 3-1 Jordan – Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara
• June 22: Argentina vs Austria – AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Texas (1:00 p.m. ET)
• June 22: Jordan vs Algeria – Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara (11:00 p.m. ET)
• June 27: Algeria vs Austria – Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City
• June 27: Jordan vs Argentina – AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Texas

This is also new territory for both nations. Jordan and Algeria have only ever met once before, a 1-1 friendly back in 2004, so Monday’s game is their first competitive meeting and their first at a World Cup. With Argentina expected to take care of business against Austria, this match could realistically decide who finishes third in the group and keeps a shot at the eight best-placed third-place finishers advancing to the new round of 32.

Jordan vs Algeria: Predicted Lineups

Jordan Predicted XI

Head coach Jamal Sellami built Jordan’s qualifying run on a compact 3-4-3 that drops into a 5-4-1 without the ball, and he is unlikely to abandon that approach after the Austria defeat. The bigger issue is personnel: top scorer Yazan Al-Naimat is out for the tournament with an ACL injury, so the attacking burden falls on Musa Al-Taamari and Ali Olwan.

Algeria Predicted XI

Vladimir Petkovic has not confirmed a lineup yet, but expect something close to the side that started against Argentina, possibly with a tweak or two after a flat opening display. Goalkeeper Luca Zidane, son of Zinedine Zidane, remains first choice after switching allegiance from France last year.

Tactical Snapshot: What to Expect

Jordan will likely sit deep, defend in numbers and look to break quickly through Al-Taamari, who has scored 23 international goals from the right wing. Algeria carry more individual quality, including veteran winger Riyad Mahrez among the substitutes, but were passive against Argentina and need a faster start. Set pieces could matter too, since neither side has looked entirely settled defensively through one match.

About the Venue: Levi’s Stadium

Levi’s Stadium, known during the tournament as San Francisco Bay Area Stadium, opened in 2014 in Santa Clara at a cost of around 1.3 billion dollars. It is the regular-season home of the NFL’s San Francisco 49ers and previously hosted Super Bowl 50, the 2016 Copa America Centenario and the 2017 Gold Cup final, and it returns to host Super Bowl LX in February 2026.

For the World Cup, the stadium’s capacity grows from its usual 68,500 toward roughly 71,000 with temporary seating. Levi’s Stadium is one of the busier FIFA World Cup stadiums on the West Coast, hosting five group stage matches on June 13, 16, 19, 22 and 25, followed by a round of 32 knockout game on July 1. Located in Silicon Valley, about 45 miles south of San Francisco, it is reachable by Caltrain to Mountain View and then VTA light rail to the Great America station right outside the gates.
