DR Congo are aiming to make more history when they face Uzbekistan in their final Group K fixture at the FIFA World Cup 2026 - and you can live stream the game from anywhere for free.

The Leopards' second World Cup appearance after 52 years away has proved worth the wait. Yoane Wissa scored his nation's first goal at the finals as Congo claimed their first point with an excellent 1-1 draw with Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal and they are still in with a shout of reaching the last-32, despite falling to a narrow 1-0 defeat against Colombia last time out. If they are to reach the knockout stage for the first time, they must claim their first World Cup win by beating Uzbekistan in Atlanta – sealing their place in the next round as one of the best third-place teams. Sebastien Desabre's men even have an outside chance of finishing second if they rack up a big win and Portugal lose to Colombia – not bad for a nation who conceded 14 goals and scored none on their previous appearance at the finals back in 1974, when they were known as Zaire.

World Cup debutants Uzbekistan will almost certainly be going home after this game, but they have enjoyed some highlights along the way. Abbosbek Fayzullaev's equaliser against Colombia – his country's first goal at the tournament – will live long in the memory despite the eventual 3-1 defeat, while the experience of facing Ronaldo and Co would have felt surreal for a squad largely drawn from the Uzbekistan Super League. Fabio Cannavaro's men cannot finish higher than third in Group K and a goal difference of -7 means they would need to thrash Congo to have even the faintest hope of qualifying. However, they still have the chance to create history and claim their first World Cup point – or even their maiden World Cup win.
