World Cup 2026 Bracket — Group Stage Live
Group stage in progress — 32 knockout teams to be confirmed
Last updated: · Updated after every match
The 2026 tournament introduces a completely new format. For the first time in history, 48 national teams compete — up from 32 in 2022. The tournament is co-hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada, with 104 total matches played across 16 venues from June 11 to July 19, 2026.
Group Stage (June 11–25)
The 48 teams are divided into 12 groups of 4. Each team plays 3 group matches, totaling 72 group stage games. The top 2 teams from each group (24 teams) advance automatically, plus the 8 best third-place finishers — giving 32 teams a spot in the knockout bracket.
Round of 32 — A Brand New Round
The Round of 32 is entirely new. Group winners are seeded against third-place qualifiers, while group runners-up face each other. The bracket is structured so that teams from the same group cannot meet until the Quarterfinals or later.
Knockout Bracket (Round of 16 → Final)
From the Round of 16 onward, it's single elimination. If a match is tied after 90 minutes, it goes to 30 minutes of extra time, then penalties if still level. A team needs to win 5 consecutive knockout matches to lift the trophy. The final is at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on July 19, 2026.
Svih 48 reprezentacija ždrijebom je raspoređeno u 12 skupina. Dvije najbolje iz svake skupine te 8 najboljih trećeplasiranih prolaze u nokaut fazu. Evo potpune raspodjele po skupinama:
Pogledajte detaljne poretke i rezultate utakmica na stranici Skupine.
Na temelju trenutačnih kladioničkih kvota, FIFA-ina ljestvice i dubine kadra, glavni kandidati za osvajanje Svjetskog prvenstva 2026. su:
- Španjolska — Branitelj naslova s jednom od najmlađih momčadi turnira. Pedri, Lamine Yamal i Gavi okosnica su veznog reda koji je dominirao Eurom 2024. i Svjetskim prvenstvom 2022.
- Argentina — Vjerojatno oproštajni turnir Lionela Messija. Prvak iz 2022. ima dubok kadar i mimo Messija, uz Juliána Álvareza i Enza Fernándeza koji se nameću kao talenti svjetske klase.
- Francuska — Kylian Mbappé predvodi momčad koja je stigla do finala 2022. Pala je u tešku Skupinu I sa Senegalom i Norveškom, ali je povijesno snažna u nokaut-fazi.
- Brazil — Peterostruki prvak vraća se s Viníciusom Jr., Rodrygom i Endrickom. Izvučen u Skupinu C s Marokom, žudjet će za osvetom za ispadanje u četvrtfinalu 2022.
- Engleska — Vječni kandidat koji je stigao do finala Eura 2024. Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka i Phil Foden čine jedan od najtalentiranijih napadačkih trija turnira.
- Njemačka — Suorganizator (7 od 16 stadiona je u SAD-u, ali 3 utakmice skupine igraju se u Meksiku). Snažna domaća podrška, a Florian Wirtz i Jamal Musiala daju im kreativnu prednost.
Među mračnim konjima su Portugal (Skupina K s Kolumbijom), Nizozemska (Skupina F s Japanom) i Sjedinjene Države kao suorganizator s prednošću domaće publike u Skupini D.
Skupina I (Francuska, Senegal, Irak, Norveška) naširoko se smatra skupinom smrti 2026. Francuska je prvak iz 2018. i finalist 2022., Senegal je 2022. dospio u osminu finala i prvak je Afričkog kupa nacija, Norveška ima Erlinga Haalanda — jednog od najboljih napadača na svijetu — a Irak se kvalificirao kroz interkontinentalni doigravanje uz snažnu noviju formu.
Među ostale teške skupine ubrajaju se Skupina K (Portugal, DR Kongo, Uzbekistan, Kolumbija) — koja sučeljava dvije povijesno snažne južnoameričke i europske reprezentacije — i Skupina F (Nizozemska, Japan, Švedska, Tunis), gdje Japanova sposobnost rušenja velikana iz 2022. čini ga opasnim za svakog protivnika.
Sa samo 2 mjesta za automatski prolazak po skupini, čak se i najbolje rangirane reprezentacije u ovim skupinama suočavaju sa stvarnim rizikom od ispadanja. 8 najboljih trećeplasiranih pruža sigurnosnu mrežu, ali treće mjesto vjerojatno znači teži ždrijeb u šesnaestini finala.
32 teams advance to the knockout stage: the top 2 from each of the 12 groups (24 teams) plus the 8 best third-place finishers.
The final will be held at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, USA on July 19, 2026.
If tied after 90 minutes, the match goes to 30 minutes of extra time. If still tied, the winner is decided by penalty shootout.
Group winners face third-place qualifiers, while group runners-up face each other. The bracket is structured so teams from the same group can't meet until later rounds.
The Round of 32 begins June 28, 2026, followed by Round of 16 (July 3-6), Quarterfinals (July 9-10), Semifinals (July 13-14), Third Place (July 18), and Final (July 19). To track every knockout match live with push notifications, search Bola 2026 on the App Store or Google Play — it's free.
