The 2026 World Cup draw took place in Washington DC on Friday and we had you covered for everything as it happened.

On Friday, FIFA held the draw for the largest World Cup ever, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada from June 11, 2026, through July 19, 2026.

The first game of the World Cup will be co-hosts Mexico v South Africa. That was the same opening game in 2010 when South Africa were the hosts. It ended 1-1. Speaking of France playing Senegal, here's highlights of when Les Bleus were stunned by the African side in 2002.

The group stage has been set for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Here are the odds for each team to advance to the knockout stage.

Two of the greatest goal-scorers of their generation were drawn together in Group I for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

First, it’s an opening game against Erling Haaland's Norway, which won every qualifier on their way to the World Cup. After that, it’s the winner of Bolivia, Iraq or Suriname, ending with a game against Senegal, a country so deeply connected to the French, who also did well in qualifiers.

In group F, the Netherlands, Japan, Tunisia and (potentially) Ukraine will be closely contested, but with group L not having any uncertainty in their four qualified nations, you could argue that England’s group is — in theory — the strongest known group of the dozen.

The US men’s soccer team will open June 12, face Australia on June 19 in Seattle and finish group play June 25 at SoFi Stadium against a team to be determined.
