The 2026 World Cup draw has been completed, and we now know who will be playing whom in the group stage. Forty-eight countries — including six countries yet to qualify — now know their respective paths to the final at MetLife Stadium on July 19 at MetLife Stadium.
Here’s every group in the 2026 FIFA World Cup:
GROUP A
Mexico, South Africa, Korea Republic, FIFA play-off winner D

Which is the group of death in the 2026 World Cup?
Group I certainly makes a strong case for itself. France is one of the favored teams that will win the tournament, while Norway, of course, boasts Erling Haaland. As for Senegal, it was a Round of 16 team in 2022. Don’t be surprised to see three teams come out of here.
Who will play in Atlanta?
South Africa will play the winner of the FIFA play-off D on June 18 in Group A. That could be either the Czech Republic, Denmark, North Macedonia, or the Republic of Ireland.
We know Group H will play in the Benz on June 15 and 21, while Group C will play on June 24 and Group K will play on June 27. The specific matchups for those dates will be locked down on Saturday.
