Follow live coverage as teams are drawn for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The tournament will take place in the United States, Mexico and Canada next summer.

FIFA changed the draw for 2026 to create separate pathways to the semifinals for the four-highest ranked teams: Spain, Argentina, France and England. That means if Spain and Argentina win their groups, the world's Nos. 1 and 2 teams can not meet prior to the final.

The inaugural presentation of the prize is set to occur during the World Cup draw in Washington, D.C. on Friday.

Andrea Bocelli, Nicole Scherzinger, and Robbie Williams will perform at the FIFA World Cup Draw. All three artists are set to sing before the actual World Cup draw procedure begins. It is unknown what song the three artists will perform, but many rumors suggest that it could be an anthem for the FIFA 2026 World Cup.

The recent FIFA World Cup draw brings the upcoming challenge into focus for El Tri, as three of its group stage opponents are now known.
