On Friday at Noon, we will find out the groups for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The drawing will take place at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
Here are the countries in each Pot according FIFA’s website:
For pot 1, Canada, Mexico and the USA will be identified by different colored balls, and when drawn will be assigned to position A1 for Mexico, B1 for Canada and D1 for the USA.
The four highest-ranked teams in the FIFA/Coca-Cola Men’s Rankings will be out on separate pathways so they will not meet before the Final. Those four teams are Spain, Argentina, France and England.
No group will have more than one team from the same confederation drawn into it, except UEFA as they are represented by 16 teams.
The six final World Cup spots will be determined via playoff matches in March of 2026.
