2026 is shaping up to be a landmark year for football, culminating in the 2026 World Cup. Hosted jointly by the United States, Canada and Mexico in June and July, the tournament will be the first to feature 48 national teams.
This 23rd edition will be the first to include 48 teams since the tournament's 1930 debut, promising huge crowds and high-calibre matches.
The tournament is expected to feature a strong line-up of top teams, with Argentina , the "defending champions", will aim to retain their title, while runners-up France chase a third star and veteran Carlo Ancelotti guides Brazil's quest to end a 24-year drought.
The tournament will also showcase a strong Arab contingent: seven teams—Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Qatar—with the possibility of Iraq joining them via the intercontinental play-offs.
Below, Koora provides the group-stage schedule, projected results, and broadcast channels for the tournament.
