The 48-team competition, hosted across 16 cities in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, promises to deliver thrilling matchups and memorable moments. The defending champions, Argentina, will face a tough test in Group J, alongside Algeria, Austria, and Jordan. Five-time World Cup winners Brazil have been drawn into Group C, where they will face Morocco, Haiti, and Scotland. The Scots will be looking to make a lasting impression after their last World Cup appearance in 1998. Meanwhile, the United States will kick off their campaign against Paraguay, while Canada will face a playoff team, potentially Italy, in Toronto. The European playoff winner will join Mexico, South Africa, and South Korea in Group A. In a nod to history, France will face Senegal, echoing the stunning upset of 2002 when Senegal defeated the reigning champions in their first World Cup match. England will meet Croatia, the team that ended their 2018 semifinal dreams, and also Panama, whom they routed 6-1 in the same edition. FIFA's new seeding system has ensured that the world's top four teams, Spain, Argentina, France, and England, will remain apart until at least the semifinals, provided each side tops their group. The draw also includes six undecided playoff winners who will complete the field ahead of the tournament's start. The expanded 104-match slate will culminate in the final on July 19 in New Jersey, with the world's top teams vying for the coveted title. Get ready for an unforgettable journey to the 2026 FIFA World Cup!"
