FIFA World Cup 2026 schedule by date, day & group

The 2026 World Cup will be the biggest ever — 48 national teams across the globe will vie for glory in a tournament co-hosted by United States, Mexico and Canada.

Teams are divided into 12 groups (Group A–L), each containing four teams.

In the group stage, every team plays three matches, one against each of the others in its group.

The top two from each group — along with the eight best third-placed teams — will advance to an expanded knockout phase of 32 teams.

The draw produced a mix of classic heavyweights (like Brazil national football team, Argentina national football team, France national football team, Germany national football team, Spain national football team) and underdog contenders — from across continents.

That means tons of potential for surprise results, historic upsets, and fresh rivalries.

Whether it’s top-tier clashes or unexpected surprises from lesser-known teams, this World Cup promises more drama, diversity and global reach than ever before. Watch & Bet Football Here =>

FIFA World Cup 2026 schedule by group

The tournament’s 12 groups span a wide mix of footballing powers and underdog challengers, making for a global spectacle.

Some of the “groups of death” are clear: Group I (France, Senegal, Norway + a playoff-winner) packs multiple high-quality sides, ensuring no easy path.

Likewise, Group C (Brazil, Morocco, plus Scotland and Haiti) could deliver surprises — plenty of firepower and hungry challengers.

Even groups that look more “balanced,” like Group B or Group D, carry risk — with strong mid-rank teams and playoff entrants making qualification anything but certain.

With 48 teams now in, group-stage diversity, varied styles, and the potential for upsets make 2026 one of the most unpredictable World Cups ever.

Here are the groups for 2026 FIFA World Cup — listed without tables, just group-by-group with the teams.

Group A: Mexico; South Africa; South Korea; European Play-off D winner
