Click any card for the match preview

Every match card is a clickable link to that match's preview page. The preview includes information about both teams, predicted lineups based on recent senior international duty, the host stadium, and what's at stake for the standings or the knockout bracket.

Group

Group-stage fixtures are tagged by group letter. To follow a single group, open its group page for the standings and all six group matches in one place. Knockout fixtures are tagged by stage (Round of 32, Round of 16, Quarter-finals, Semi-finals, Third-place, Final).

Matches Today

Today's fixtures will be highlighted at the top of this list once the tournament begins on June 11, 2026. If no match is scheduled for the current day, the next upcoming match will be marked instead — so you always know what's next on the calendar.

Standings

Group standings update on each group page after every match. The all-matches list shows results inline as they come in, but for full standings tables (points, goal difference, qualification status) the group pages are the authoritative source.

Results

Match results appear in the list within minutes of the final whistle of every fixture. The card updates from scheduled to final score, with a link to the post-match summary. Until the tournament begins, every fixture is shown as scheduled with confirmed date, kickoff time and venue.

Match Schedule

The tournament unfolds in six stages: group stage (June 11–27), Round of 32 (June 28 – July 3), Round of 16 (July 4–7), quarter-finals (July 9–11), semi-finals (July 14–15), third-place play-off (July 18) and the Final on July 19. Rest days are built into each stage to give teams recovery time, especially before the semi-finals and Final.

Time zones across North America

Matches play across four time zones: Pacific (Vancouver, Los Angeles, Seattle, SF Bay Area), Central (Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City) and Eastern (New York, Boston, Atlanta, Miami, Philadelphia, Toronto). Convert kickoff times to your own zone before tuning in.

Match Chart

After June 27, the group stage flows into the knockout bracket. 32 teams advance: 12 group winners, 12 runners-up and the 8 best third-placed teams. The playoff page shows the full bracket visualisation with bracket descriptors until teams are confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many matches are at the World Cup 2026?

There are 104 matches in total — 72 in the group stage and 32 in the knockout stage. That's an increase from the 64 matches played at previous 32-team World Cups.

How can I find matches involving my team?

Open the team's page from the teams index, or click the team's flag on any match card here. The team page lists every World Cup 2026 fixture for that nation in chronological order.

Are kickoff times shown in my local time zone?

No — kickoff times are shown in the local time of the host city. Use a time zone converter to translate to your own time zone. Each match card displays the time followed by 'local' to make this clear.

What's the best way to plan match viewing?

If you want to follow specific teams, bookmark their pages. If you want to watch by location (e.g. all matches in Mexico, or only Pacific time games), use the host country filters or browse by stadium.

Can I see past results on this page?

Yes — once matches are played, results appear inline on the match card with a link to the post-match summary. Until June 11, 2026, every fixture displays as a scheduled match with confirmed date, time and venue.
