FIFA World Cup 2026 - Group Stage (2026)

The 2026 FIFA World Cup group stage features an expanded format with 48 teams divided into 12 groups of four. Co-hosted by Canada, Mexico, and the United States, this opening round consists of 72 total matches played across 16 host cities over a 17-day period. The top two teams from each group, along with the eight best third-place finishers, will advance to the newly introduced Round of 32. This structure increases the total number of competitive matches and ensures that nearly every final group-stage game carries significant implications for knockout-round qualification.
