France Faces Ukraine for World Cup Qualification in Paris

PARIS, France — France and Ukraine will meet on Thursday, November 13, 2025, in a crucial World Cup Qualification match at Parc des Princes. The match is set to kick off at 11:45 a.m. PT / 2:45 p.m. ET.

Currently at the top of Group D, France has 10 points after four matches, with three wins and one draw, leaving them unbeaten. A victory against Ukraine would secure their spot at the upcoming World Cup, while a draw could also suffice if Iceland fails to beat Azerbaijan.

Ukraine, sitting second in the group with seven points, must win to stay in contention for the automatic qualification spot. With victories in their last two matches, they are under pressure to perform but remain hopeful.

“A win in Paris could change everything for us,” said Ukraine coach Serhiy Rebrov. “We know what’s at stake and we’ll give our best.” If Ukraine draws, they can still qualify if Iceland slips up, keeping their chances alive for the final matchday.

France’s coach, Didier Deschamps, faces some injury setbacks but has significant depth to work with. Star player Kylian Mbappé remains a key figure, aiming to close in on Olivier Giroud‘s all-time scoring record for the national team.

The match will be available for streaming on Fubo, FS2, and ViX in the United States. Fans outside the US may need to use a VPN to access their usual streaming services for the game.

With high stakes and talented squads on both sides, Thursday’s clash promises to be a thrilling encounter that could define the fate of Group D.
