🌎🏆 Excitement is brewing as the FIFA World Cup 2026 gears up to thrill fans across the globe! Hosted by the U.S., Mexico, and Canada, this edition is extra special with 48 teams ready to battle it out for the top spot. It’s North America’s first World Cup since ’94, and the stage is set for some unforgettable football action.
The tournament kicks off on 11th June, with Mexico facing South Africa in the opening match at Estadio Azteca. This 2026 tournament promises more teams and more matches, with 12 groups battling it out until the group stages wrap up on 27th June. The knockout rounds ignite on 28th June, and the quest for glory culminates with the final showdown on 19th July in New Jersey.
Wales fans, hold onto your seats! Our team is eyeing a spot through the European play-offs, needing to overcome Bosnia & Herzegovina for a ticket to the finals. If successful, they’ll meet Canada in the group stages. England’s already in, having stormed through qualifiers, with Scotland making a historic return since ’98.
As we cheer for our teams, it’s a journey packed with late nights and early mornings for UK fans. Some match times are local friendly, like the opening game and the finale, each at 8pm UK time. However, brace for some early alarms, especially with Scotland’s games starting as early as 2am.
