When

Where

The 2026 World Cup, expanded to 48 nations, runs from June 11 until July 19. The tournament will unfold in 16 cities across the United States, Canada and Mexico.

The top two teams from each group and the top eight third-place finishers advance to the knockout phase (Round of 32).

Canada

After snapping a 36-year drought by qualifying for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Canada face heightened expectations as tournament co-hosts.

Jesse Marsch's side also hopes to check off an important milestone by earning the program's first World Cup point (win or draw).

Orlando City's Maxime Crépeau will be key to those efforts, earning the No. 1 goalkeeper job over Inter Miami CF's Dayne St. Clair. LAFC midfielder Stephen Eustáquio and Toronto FC fullback Richie Laryea could also make the starting XI.

Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies, a Vancouver Whitecaps FC homegrown, continues to recover from a hamstring injury. He could feature later in the tournament, with Group B matches on the horizon in Vancouver vs. Qatar (June 18) and Switzerland (June 24).

Bosnia and Herzegovina

Like Canada, Bosnia and Herzegovina are chasing their first-ever knockout stage berth at the World Cup.

The Dragons previously made their World Cup debut at Brazil 2014, earning a historic win vs. Iran after opening with defeats vs. Argentina and Nigeria.

For their World Cup return at North America 2026, Bosnia and Herzegovina booked their ticket as the UEFA playoff Path A winner. New England Revolution homegrown product Esmir Bajraktarević scored the decisive penalty kick to eliminate Italy.

Sergej Barbarez's side is led by iconic striker Edin Džeko, who has scored a team-record 73 goals. Defender Sead Kolašinac is another key veteran.
