FIFA World Cup 2026 Fixtures and Results – Full Schedule, Scores & Standings
The FIFA World Cup arrives every four years and brings fresh anticipation around the world. With the 2026 edition set to be the biggest yet, there is plenty to look out for across the United States, Canada and Mexico.
This guide brings together the full fixture list, confirmed results and up-to-date group tables in one place. Whether you want to follow a specific team, keep an eye on key matchdays or skim through the highlights, it is all here.
What Is The 2026 World Cup Matchday Schedule?
The 2026 FIFA World Cup uses an expanded format across three host nations, which means a busy calendar through June and July. Group-stage matches are clustered on most days to keep the tournament moving at a steady pace, followed by short rest windows and then the knockout rounds.
Because games are being played across multiple time zones, some kick-offs will fall late at night or early morning for viewers in the UK. Early afternoon starts in North America tend to land in the evening in the UK, while evening games there can run into the early hours.
After the group stage, the tournament shifts quickly into elimination football. Knockout ties are arranged close together so momentum builds naturally towards the final, with minimal downtime between rounds.
The World Cup 2026 schedule can be found below:
- Matchday 1: June 11th-17th
- Matchday 2: June 18th-23rd
- Matchday 3: June 24th-27th
- Round of 32: June 28th – July 3rd

When Is The First World Cup 2026 Match?
The opening game is planned for 11th June 2026. Mexico will take on South Africa, a reverse of the opening match of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. The match will follow the opening ceremony and set the tone for a full month of football.
When Is The World Cup 2026 Final?
The final is scheduled for 19th July 2026 at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford. Kick-off is expected at 3pm Eastern Time (ET), which would mean a 8pm kick off time in the UK.

FIFA World Cup 2026 Group Stage Standings
The standings track progress across every group. After each round of group games, tables update to show points, games played, wins, draws, losses and goal difference, so you can see at a glance who is on course to advance.
When teams finish level on points, goal difference and goals scored are used to separate them. If needed, head-to-head records can also come into play. This makes the final round of group games especially significant, as a single goal can alter the order and the path into the knockouts.
This section will be regularly updated with group standing updates after the conclusion of each group stage game.
