Norway vs Senegal FIFA World Cup 2026: Kick-off Time and Starting XI

Norway and Senegal will go head to head against each other in the upcoming World Cup clash at the MetLife Stadium. The game is scheduled to begin at 5 AM PKT, June 23.

Norway head into this match full of confidence after a 4-1 win over Iraq in their opening World Cup game. Erling Haaland was one of the standout performers, scoring twice in that victory.

Senegal, meanwhile, will be looking to bounce back after losing 3-1 to France in their first match. A good result here is important if they want to keep their hopes of reaching the next round alive.

These two teams have met only once before. Senegal came out on top in that match, but playing on neutral ground makes this a completely different test.

For the upcoming World Cup clash, both sides are ready with their starting XI. Let’s take a look at them below.

Norway Starting XI

Orjan Nyland; Julian Ryerson, Kristoffer Ajer, Torbjorn Heggem, David Moller Wolfe; Martin Odegaard (c), Sander Berge, Fredrik Aursnes; Alexander Sorloth, Erling Haaland, Antonio Nusa.
