The 2026 FIFA World Cup field is complete. The qualifying playoffs concluded and confirmed all 48 teams, locking in the final spots for this summer’s tournament across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Organizers already set most of the bracket during December’s draw, when they placed 42 nations into groups. Six spots remained open for the playoff winners, and those matches have now decided the final teams. The full lineup is now complete, including the exact positions of each host nation.
