Searching for a place to watch Panama vs Croatia at the 2026 FIFA World Cup near Seattle? Sparrow in Kirkland has it on the TVs. Kickoff is Tuesday, June 23 at 4 PM Pacific Time, landing right as our daily happy hour gets going in the Juanita neighborhood.
About Panama vs Croatia
This is a Group L match. Panama, from North and Central America and the Caribbean (CONCACAF), face Croatia, from Europe (UEFA), while the group’s other two teams, England (the 1966 world champions) and Ghana (CAF, Africa), watch the table. It is the second round of group play, where a result can reshape the group as teams chase a place in the round of 32. At the first 48-team World Cup the top two from each group plus the eight best third-placed teams advance, so the margins are tight from here.
The 2026 tournament is the first to expand to 48 teams, co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico from June 11 to July 19, with Seattle a host city just minutes from Kirkland. See the full slate of games we are showing on our World Cup at Sparrow page.
