How the 2026 FIFA World Cup Group Stage Works

The 2026 tournament format uses 48 teams divided into 12 groups. Each team plays three group-stage matches, and points from those matches decide the ranking in each group.

Under the current format path, the top two teams from each group plus the best third-place teams move into the knockout round. That means every goal and every point can affect qualification.

Match timing also matters for fans. With games played across North America, kickoff windows can vary by location, so this page keeps dates, UTC kickoff labels, and venue links together for easier planning.
