France next World Cup match: Fixture schedule, start time, draw bracket as Les Blues face Senegal originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
France head to this summer's World Cup bidding for a successful end to Didier Deschamps' time in charge.
The head coach will step down after the tournament, with Zinedine Zidane widely expected to take over the position with Les Bleus that Deschamps has held since 2012. He will have a difficult job to replace his former teammate, who led France to glory at the 2018 finals in Russia and only lost the 2022 showpiece to Argentina on penalties.
France undoubtedly boast one of the strongest rosters in the tournament, but their Group I campaign looks anything but straightforward. Up first are Senegal, who won the most recent Africa Cup of Nations only to see their title stripped. France then face qualifying playoff winners Iraq before facing Erling Haaland and Norway.
Here is everything you need to know about France's appearance at the World Cup, including the latest results from the tournament.

France's World Cup campaign begins against Senegal on Tuesday, June 16.
The match will take place at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, the venue for the final this year.

France World Cup 2026 draw bracket for Group I
The winner of Group I will enter the knockout stage bracket on the top half, scheduled to take on a third-place qualifier from either Group C, D, F, G or H.
The Group I runner-up enters the bottom half of the bracket and will meet the Group E runner-up.
The third-place finisher in Group I has six potential landing spots in the bracket, but only eight groups will have a third-place qualifier for the knockout stage.
