The 2026 World Cup is – vaguely horrifyingly – less than a month away, and the first 26-man squads have started to be confirmed.
All 48 qualifiers were required to provide FIFA with a provisional squad by May 11 containing up to 55 names (at least four of whom are goalkeepers), but there is no obligation for individual nations to make these public. Those who have chosen to do so are included below but clearly marked as provisional.
Only players included in these provisional lists can be named in the final squad, which must contain between 23 and 26 players of which three are goalkeepers.
Countries are free to name their final 26-man squads any time before FIFA’s June 2 deadline, with some having chosen to do so already. All squads will only be considered formal and final when FIFA confirm all 48 of them on June 2.
After that, countries can replace players up to 24 hours before their first game of the tournament, but only in the case of illness or injury, with FIFA’s blessing, and only with a player from the provisional squad previously submitted.
Beyond that deadline the only exception is for goalkeepers. If FIFA give the okay, an ill or injured goalkeeper may be replaced by another goalkeeper from the provisional list at any time during the tournament.
