Fifa to reveal World Cup host cities and match times this Saturday | OneFootball

The 2026 World Cup is coming. This Saturday, one day after the group stage draw of the competition, FIFA will announce the updated match schedule for the World Cup in a live broadcast on Saturday, December 6, from Washington D.C., United States. This will take place almost 24 hours after the football world discovers the 12 brand new groups of four teams in the highly anticipated final draw of the tournament.

The presentation will be hosted by FIFA president, Gianni Infantino, who will be joined on stage by FIFA Legends. In the audience, there will be representatives from the 42 teams already qualified, as well as those still in contention. Additionally, during the broadcast, there will be expert analysis and commentary, breaking down the matchups, highlighting important stories, and offering perspectives on the host cities that will welcome the world in June and July of next year.

Furthermore, during the broadcast, the stadiums and kickoff times for all 104 matches will be confirmed. The broadcast will be shown on FIFA's official platforms, including Fifa.com and FIFA's YouTube channel, ensuring that fans around the world can follow the announcements in real time.

Reinforced Planning

The process of allocating matches following the draw aims to ensure the best possible conditions for all teams and fans, allowing, whenever possible, fans from different time zones to watch their teams live. The final version of the schedule will be available in March, after the FIFA and European play-offs, when the last six spots are filled.

With expectations rising in the three host countries and in 16 vibrant cities, and with nearly two million tickets already sold, the release of the schedule after the draw marks another milestone on the road to what promises to be a transformative World Cup.
