2026 World Cup Group Format
The 48 competing nations are divided into 12 groups of four. Each group plays a round robin format where teams are awarded three points for a win and one point for a draw.
The top two teams in each group advance to the Round of 32 along with the eight best third place squads. Tiebreakers in the group standings will be resolved using established criteria.
