Fifa Play-off 2: Iraq, Bolivia, Suriname
Final addition to the USMNT's Group D: European playoff winner
Paraguay, Australia and now the winner of the playoff series between Turkey, Romania, Slovakia and Kosovo.
It's a decent group for the Americans that should expect to move on to the next round. Paraguay and Australia could give them problems, but with a home-field advantage, the U.S. are the (slight) favorites here.
USMNT's first game of Group D
The United States will begin its group play against Paraguay on June 12th in Los Angeles.
World Cup 2026 Draw: Scotland face Brazil yet again
Scotland are at their first World Cup since 1998, where they opened up against Brazil in Paris, and the two nations meet again in the third game in Group C.
The two nations also met in 1974, 1982 and 1990, so this is becoming a World Cup rivalry -- albeit one that has never seen a Scotland victory.
World Cup 2026 Draw: A reminder of the six play-off paths
Uefa Play-off A: Italy, Wales, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Northern Ireland
Uefa Play-off B: Ukraine, Poland, Albania, Sweden
Uefa Play-off C: Turkey, Slovakia, Kosovo, Romania
Uefa Play-off D: Denmark, Czech Republic, Republic of Ireland, North Macedonia
Fifa Play-off 1: DR Congo, Jamaica, New Caledonia
Fifa Play-off 2: Iraq, Bolivia, Suriname
Who is in Pot 4? Confirmed Teams for every group.
Pot 4: Jordan, Cabo Verde, Ghana, Curacao, Haiti, New Zealand, UEFA Playoff Team 1 (Italy, Wales, Bosnia and Herzegovina or Northern Ireland), UEFA Playoff Team 2 (Denmark, Czechia, Ireland or North Macedonia), UEFA Playoff Team 3 (Turkiye, Slovakia, Kosovo or Romania), UEFA Playoff Team 4 (Ukraine, Poland, Albania or Sweden), IC Playoff Team 1 (DR Congo, New Caledonia or Jamaica), IC Playoff Team 2 (Iraq, Bolivia or Suriname)
USMNT Opens Against Paraguay
The US will open the World Cup against Paraguay on June 12 at Sofi Stadium.
The United States will face Paraguay in their opening game of the tournament in Los Angeles. Though Paraguay was initially drawn for Group C, with Brazil and Morocco, two teams from the same confederation cannot be in the same group and therefore it is given to the United States.
Mexico's second opponent revealed: South Africa
Hello to the World Cup-opener at Mexico City, we'll have Mexico vs South Africa after the
Bafana Bafana were drawn in Group A. With South Korea also in the group, this feels like a throwback from previous World Cup group stage opponents for Mexico.
Who is in Pot 3? Confirmed Teams for every group.
Pot 3: Norway, Panama, Egypt, Algeria, Scotland, Paraguay, Tunisia, Ivory Coast, Uzbekistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Africa
Group A: Mexico, South Africa, South Korea
Group B: Canada, Qatar, Switzerland
Group C: Brazil, Morocco, Scotland
Group D: United States, Paraguay, Australia
Group E: Germany, Ivory Coast, Ecuador
Group F: Netherlands, Japan, Tunisia
Group G: Belgium, Egypt, Iran
Group H: Spain, Saudi Arabia, Uruguay
Group I: France, Senegal, Norway
Group J: Argentina, Algeria, Austria
Group K: Portugal, Colombia, Uzbekistan
Group L: England, Croatia, Panama
England vs Croatia meets again.
Croatia are always a threat. They are an ageing team, but for England's opener on June 17 in Boston or Dallas, it is a pretty tough opponent.
But the good news for both teams is that they will avoid Norway -- and England won't face neighbours Scotland -- because only two European teams can play in the same group.
England's first game will be against Croatia in Toronto or Dallas.
World Cup 2018 semifinal? Check.
Euro 2020 group stage? Check.
This one feels very familiar.
Host Mexico know their first Opponent: Korea Republic
will face Korea Republic in the 2026 World Cup. Maybe the chant ‘Koreano, Hermano, ya eres Mexicano’ will not apply that day.
The two teams have faced each other twice in previous World Cups, in 1998 and 2018, and Mexico won on both occasions.
U.S. know their first group stage member: Australia
Considering that Morocco were placed just one move earlier in Group C, and Ecuador in Group E, the U.S. men's national team should breathe a sigh of relief here. We'll see who joins them in Group D
Who is in Pot 2? Confirmed Teams for every group.
POT 2 Teams: Croatia, Morocco, Colombia, Uruguay, Switzerland, Japan, Senegal, Iran, South Korea, Ecuador, Austria, Australia
Time for the teams in Pot 2 to come out now. This won't be as straightforward in terms of which Groups they go in but all shall become clear.
Group A: Mexico, South Korea
Group B: Canada, Switzerland
Group C: Brazil, Morocco
Group D: United States, Australia
Group E: Germany, Ecuador
Group F: Netherlands, Japan
Group G: Belgium, Iran
Group H: Spain, Uruguay
Group I: France, Senegal
Group J: Argentina, Austria
Group K: Portugal, Colombia
Group L: England, Croatia
Excitement in media hall as Morocco emerge
There was an audible gasp in the media auditorium as Morocco were paired with Brazil in Group C.
A tough-looking group already with one of the favourites in Brazil and 2022 semi-finalists Morocco in the same section.
Who is in Pot 1? Confirmed Teams for every group.
That would be the three hosts, United States, Canada and Mexico, plus:
Group A: Mexico
Group B: Canada
Group C: Brazil
Group D: United States
Group E: Germany
Group F: Netherlands
Group G: Belgium
Group H: Spain
Group I: France
Group J: Argentina
Group K: Portugal
Group L: England

World Cup 2026 Draw Live: Argentina and Spain can't meet until the final
A reminder: The four highest-ranked teams -- Spain, Argentina, France and England -- will be placed in separate sections of a new tennis-style seeded tournament bracket.
Defending champion Argentina with Lionel Messi and top-ranked European champion Spain with Lamine Yamal therefore can ensure they do not meet until the final at MetLife Stadium near New York.

Big BREAKING mascot news …
This has come out of the blue. The U.S.A. has decided that now is the time to reveal its official soccer mascot — and you can catch a first glimpse below.
Yes, it’s a dog! But not just any dog. It’s a dog “inspired by the Chesapeake Bay Retriever known for its bright and happy disposition, courage, willingness to work, and intelligence.”
Sounds like the unicorn of dogs to me.
Anyway, said mascot is going to wear the number 27 to represent the total number of U.S. Soccer’s national teams and I’m sure it will be a success.
But there is one thing missing. A name! That’s right, U.S. Soccer is also running a competition to name its new football pooch. And yes, I’ve asked some of my colleagues to come up with their own suggestions.
Countdown in the Cold: World Cup Draw Day Arrives in Washington
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The stage is set on a frigid Thursday in the American capital, where winter's first flurries dust the city. Despite the chill, the focus is firmly on the warm glow of the global football spotlight at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Signage for the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final Draw is now in place, marking the venue for Friday's highly anticipated ceremony. The event will determine the groups for the first 48-team World Cup, co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

World Cup 2026: A Landmark 23rd Edition
The upcoming tournament will make history as the 23rd men's FIFA World Cup and the first ever to be hosted by more than two nations.
To date, the World Cup finals have seen 964 matches played and 2,720 goals scored. Brazil holds the all-time records for most matches contested (114) and most goals scored (237).
On the individual stage, Argentina’s Lionel Messi has made the most appearances (26), while Germany’s Miroslav Klose still holds the record for most goals scored (16)—for now. Messi, who has 13 World Cup goals of his own, is expected to return to the stage in the summer of 2026.
Heading to Times Square...
Good morning from a bitterly cold East Rutherford, N.J., where I just hopped on a Manhattan-bound bus to go cover the World Cup draw live from Times Square.
I’ll be there alongside local organizers and a few USMNT stars.
When I say it’s cold here today, I mean can’t-feel-my-face kind of cold. I had to break out my old winter gear from my college playing days for this!
In June, many will be doing the reverse of this commute to (hopefully) catch one of the eight World Cup matches being staged at MetLife Stadium.
Soon, we’ll finally know which teams will be playing there — at least for the group stage.

2026 FIFA World Cup Host Venues, Stadiums, Cities.
Canadian venue, matches will be played in Vancouver and Toronto. Mexico hosts fixtures in Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterrey, three of the country's most historic footballing hubs. The United States features the largest collection of 2026 World Cup host cities, including Seattle, the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, Kansas City, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Miami, Boston, Philadelphia and the New York–New Jersey metro area.
How does the 2026 World Cup Draw Works, format.
All participating nations are divided into four World Cup draw pots based on FIFA ranking and host status. The three co-hosts, the United States, Canada and Mexico, are guaranteed top-seed positions in separate groups. The remaining highest-ranked teams fill out the other Pot 1 slots.
After Pot 1 is assigned, teams from Pot 2, Pot 3, and Pot 4 are drawn in order, with each group receiving one team from each pot. Six final nations will earn their places through the intercontinental playoffs in March, and those playoff winners will occupy the Pot 4 positions once qualified.
To maintain competitive and continental balance, teams from the same confederation generally cannot be drawn into the same group. The lone exception is Europe, which has more qualified nations and may place two UEFA teams in the same group.
