Group standings
All 12 groups in the World Cup 2026 group stage. The top two of each group qualify automatically; the eight best third-placed teams complete the Round of 32.
How qualification works
With 48 teams in 12 groups, the Round of 32 needs more than the 24 group winners and runners-up. The 8 best third-placed teams across all groups also advance — ranked by points, then goal difference, then goals scored.
