The Official Groups of the 2026 World Cup (A–L)
Group A: Mexico, South Africa, South Korea, Czech Republic
Mexico starts the tournament on home soil in the legendary cauldron of the Estadio Azteca, making qualification a must for them, but South Korea and the Czech Republic could cause a major upset.
Group B: Canada, Switzerland, Qatar, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Canada wants to make a huge impact in front of their home crowd, but they will have to fight tooth and nail for points against an rock-solid Switzerland and a well-organized Bosnian team.
Group C: Brazil, Morocco, Haiti, Scotland
Here we will see the first true top-tier clash: Brazilian football magic goes head-to-head with the semifinalists of the last World Cup, Morocco. Scotland can shake things up with their hard-fighting style.
Group D: United States, Paraguay, Australia, Turkey
The third host nation, the USA, will have to bring their absolute best, as there are no guaranteed victories against a tough Turkish side and a physically strong Australia.
Group E: Germany, Curaçao, Ivory Coast, Ecuador
On paper, winning the group is a must for the Germans, but with rivals playing heavy African and South American power football, the script could easily change.
Group F: Netherlands, Japan, Sweden, Tunisia
The most balanced group of the entire World Cup, where a tactically disciplined Japan or a resilient Sweden can beat anyone on their day.
Group G: Belgium, Egypt, Iran, New Zealand
Belgium looks to prove themselves after a major generational shift, while Egypt will rely on quick counter-attacks to catch them off guard.
Group H: Spain, Cape Verde, Saudi Arabia, Uruguay
This quartet looks like a true group of death. The match between a soaring, young Spanish side and a rock-hard Uruguay will be an absolute treat.
Group I: France, Senegal, Iraq, Norway
A battle for first place is expected between Kylian Mbappé’s side and Norway’s goal-scorers, but no European star team can take anything for granted against a fierce Senegal.
Group J: Argentina, Algeria, Austria, Jordan
Lionel Messi and his team begin their path toward defending the title here. They will face a tough challenge against Austria’s organized play, but winning the group is the goal.
Group K: Portugal, Uzbekistan, Colombia, DR Congo
The clash between Portuguese technique and the South American flair of Colombia will decide the top spot in the group, while the Africans chase an upset.
Group L: England, Croatia, Ghana, Panama
A group featuring a true blockbuster match. The English stars can finally get their revenge on a cunning Croatia for painful defeats suffered in past major tournaments.
