The FIFA World Cup's group stage wraps up today, and Portugal face Colombia in the final Group K game.

A win for Portugal will send them to the top of the group and reward them with a easier knockout draw. The same holds true for Colombia, but they just need a draw to ensure easy passage. With so much at stake for both teams, the battle between Portugal and Colombia promises to be an entertaining watch. Here are all the details you need to catch it live using a streaming subscription or a VPN.

When Is the Colombia vs. Portugal World Cup Match?

The Colombia vs. Portugal game kicks off at 7:30 p.m. ET on June 27 at Miami Stadium.

Portugal are coming off a big 5-0 win against Uzbekistan, where superstar Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brace and screamed, "I am back! I am back!" Several changes were made to the lineup after the draw against DR Congo, and the difference was evident. Portugal were more threatening down the wings, more creative in midfield with Bruno Fernandes, and clinical in front of goal through Ronaldo. They still need more of that as they play Colombia in a game that with big rewards.

The South Americans, meanwhile, have won both their games so far, but have yet to be tested against a formidable opponent. Néstor Lorenzo will want his side to put on a show against Portugal and send a message to their potential knockout opponents that Colombia are not to be taken lightly. That said, he may rest defenders Jhon Lucumí and Johan Mojica today, as both are already on a yellow card, and another booking would rule them out of the first knockout game.
