World Cup 2026 Schedule

Every World Cup 2026 match in one calendar—from the group stage across North America through the Round of 32, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final on July 19.

Kickoffs are shown in Eastern Time (ET) for consistency across US, Canadian, and Mexican venues. When you travel, convert from ET to local time in your host city.

Use Today’s matches for the current slate, or Tomorrow for the next day’s fixtures. Group-stage games are listed by group; knockout ties link to the bracket view so you can see how winners progress.

This is the canonical URL for World Cup 2026 fixture calendars. Overview content stays on /world-cup-2026; live 'today' slices stay on /today and /world-cup-games-today.

Eighty group matches plus knockouts create a five-week arc. Filter mentally by group, city, or stage using row labels.

Kickoffs default to Eastern Time for US-centric planning. Stadium pages note local context when venues cross time zones.

When organisers move a kickoff, match detail pages update first; the schedule table follows confirmed times.

Do not confuse with Club World Cup schedule at /club-world-cup-schedule—the tournaments run on different calendars.

Export or print: use wall-chart for knockout trees; this page is the chronological master list.

Group-stage blocks run June 2026; knockout rounds fill July until the final. Rows show ET kickoffs unless a match note lists local stadium time.

Use /tomorrow for the next day’s slate without scrolling the full tournament. Use /world-cup-games-today when you only want national-team fixtures on the current date.

Stadium and city links on match pages help tailgate planning—this schedule stays chronological.

Group-stage density peaks in mid-June when multiple matches overlap. Knockout rounds spread fewer games across July with higher stakes per kickoff.

Stadium and city links on match rows help tailgaters plan parking and transit. The schedule stays chronological; filter by reading group letters on each line.

Quiet days between matchdays are normal. Use tomorrow and games-today pages instead of expecting a full slate every calendar day.

Fixture grids below split group stage and knockout blocks when knockout data is available. Eastern Time is the default listing for US-centric planning.

Match pages add stadium and team links—use them when this schedule view feels too dense on mobile.

International fans should convert ET to local time before setting alarms for early-round kickoffs.

Knockout rounds shrink the daily match count but raise stakes—each row matters more for bracket picks.

Group-stage weeks may list three matches per day for your nation—plan sleep if you follow multiple groups.

Stadium links help compare capacity and city climate when you choose which fixture to attend in person.

Broadcast listings are not on this page—pair with the where-to-watch hub for legal feeds.

Qualifier fixtures are archived elsewhere—do not expect past qualifying dates in this calendar.

wc26today uses Eastern Time for US-centric planning; convert for Vancouver, Mexico City, or Los Angeles kicks.
