FIFA World Cup 2026 Schedule
Every Match, Every Date, Every Kick-Off
The 2026 FIFA World Cup schedule is unlike anything seen in the history of the tournament. 104 matches are spread across 39 days, played from coast to coast across three countries and 16 cities — making this the most logistically ambitious World Cup ever staged.
The tournament opens on 11 June with Mexico vs South Africa in Mexico City and closes with the final on 19 July in New York/New Jersey. In between, there is rarely a day without football. The group stage runs through to mid-June, with each of the 12 groups completing their three matchdays before the knockout rounds begin.
Use this schedule page to track every fixture, filter by group or date, and plan your betting calendar in advance. We flag the highest-value matches, the biggest rivalries, and the games where the odds are most likely to shift as kickoff approaches. With matches spread across multiple time zones — from Vancouver and Toronto in the north to Mexico City, Houston and Miami in the south — kick-off times vary significantly, so always check local times before placing a bet. The time is indicated according to the GMT time zone.
