2026 World Cup fixtures and broadcasters

With the 2026 World Cup looming, football fans worldwide are focusing on the biggest and most-watched tournament in sporting history, now in its unique 23rd edition.

This edition is exceptional for several reasons, the first being that it will be held for the first time across three countries – the United States, Canada and Mexico – embodying the spirit of cooperation and expanding the fan base across the Americas.

The 2026 edition also marks another historic milestone, as the number of participating teams rises to 48 for the first time in the tournament’s history, which began in 1930. This expansion gives emerging nations more opportunities and heightens both the intensity of the competition and the excitement for fans.

This expansion reflects FIFA’s commitment to greater inclusivity, giving more nations a chance to compete and more fans a chance to experience the tournament up close.

Host cities are fine-tuning stadiums and infrastructure to welcome millions of fans. With record viewership and attendance anticipated, the tournament promises to make a lasting impact on the sport.

Below, Koora delivers the fixture list, results, group tables and broadcast channels for the tournament.

  • When is the 2026 World Cup?

    The 2026 World Cup will kick off on 11 June 2026, with the opening ceremony hosted by Mexico and including a Group A match between Mexico and South Africa.

  • What is the format of the 2026 World Cup?

    To accommodate the expanded 48-team 2026 World Cup—up from the usual 32-team format—FIFA has created 12 groups hosted by the three host nations.

    The top two teams from each group, plus the eight best third-placed sides, will advance to a new 32-team knockout phase that runs from the round of 32 through to the final.

    The shift underlines FIFA’s aim to make the tournament more inclusive and competitive, giving fans worldwide a chance to back a broader range of nations on the global stage. and raises the total number of matches from 64 to 104, setting the stage for what is widely expected to be the biggest and most exciting World Cup in history.

  • The World Cup’s All-Time Roll of Honour

    Since the World Cup began in 1930, only eight teams have lifted football’s most prestigious trophy. Brazil sit atop the all-time rankings with five titles (1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, 2002), a dominance that has seen them produce icons such as Pelé, Romário and Ronaldo.

    Italy and Germany follow with four titles each; Germany’s first three came as West Germany, with the fourth arriving in 2014 after reunification. Argentina has three crowns, the latest secured at the 2022 tournament under Lionel Messi.

    Uruguay opened the trophy cabinet with the inaugural 1930 triumph and later claimed a second in 1950, while France has lifted the trophy twice (1998, 2018). England (1966) and Spain (2010) each own a single crown, keeping the hope of a second star very much alive.
