All countries that have qualified for the 2026 World Cup

Here are the countries that have qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be played across three different countries.

The wait is nearly over. The 2026 FIFA World Cup is set to run from June 11 to July 19 across three host nations (the United States, Canada, and Mexico), and all 48 teams are now confirmed for what promises to be the biggest tournament in the competition’s history.

This marks the first time the World Cup will feature 48 teams, a significant expansion from the 32-team format that has been in place since 1998. From established powerhouses to remarkable first-timers, the field is as diverse as it is exciting. Cape Verde, Curaçao, Jordan, and Uzbekistan will all make their World Cup debuts, while Curaçao has made history as the smallest nation ever to qualify.

Argentina enters as defending champions, having claimed their third World Cup title in Qatar in 2022 but, they will face stiff competition from the likes of France, Spain, Brazil, and a host of hungry nations eager to make their mark on the grandest stage in football.
