World Cup schedule and results: Spain crowned world champions after beating Argentina

[p]The 2026 FIFA World Cup was played across the [b]United States, Canada, and Mexico[/b] and had been expanded to feature [b]48 teams[/b] for the first time, reshaping the format and the match calendar. For the first time in the tournament's history, the knockout stages began with a [b]round of 32[/b] featuring all 24 first- and second-placed teams, as well as the [b]eight best third-placed teams[/b].[/p][p]With games taking place across the three countries, the [b]39-day tournament[/b] featured [b]104 matches[/b] across different time zones and a schedule unlike what we have seen before in football. During the 39 days of the FIFA World Cup, football fans only had moments of peace on [b]July 8th, 12th, 13th, 16th, and 17th[/b], as those were the only five days without scheduled matches. There were no days off until [b]after the round of 16[/b].[/p][p]In this [b]complete Flashscore guide[/b], you’ll find everything about the tournament from [b]key dates to fixture breakdowns, and kickoff times[/b] across major time zones.[/p][p]To stay up to date with all the latest [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/news/world-cup/lvUBR5F8CdnS0XT8/"][b]FIFA World Cup news[/b][/a], check out the [a href="https://www.flashscore.com/news/"][b]Flashscore website[/b][/a] or download the [b]Flashscore app[/b] in the [a href="https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/id766443283?l=nl&mt=8"][b]Apple App Store[/b][/a] or [a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.livesport.FlashScore_com&pcampaignid=web_share"][b]Google Play Store[/b][/a].[/p][infobox id="4ccc1b10-d68f-4c97-bcf4-5e613c17c2e3" /][h2]World Cup key dates of rounds[/h2][p]Group stage: [b]June 11-27[/b][/p][p]Round of 32: [b]June 28 to July 3[/b][/p][p]Round of 16: [b]July 4-7[/b][/p][p]Quarter-finals: [b]July 9-11[/b][/p][p]Semi-finals: [b]July 14-15[/b][/p][p]Third-place play-off: [b]July 18[/b][/p][p]Final: [b]July 19[/b][/p][h2]Full 2026 World Cup Schedule by Day[/h2][p][b](All times in EU time / CEST)[/b][/p][h2]Matchday 1 — June 11–18[/h2][p][b][i]Thursday, June 11[/i][/b][/p][p][b]Group A: [/b]Mexico 2-0 South Africa – [i]Mexico City, Mexico[/i][/p][p][b][i]Friday, June 12[/i][/b][/p][p][b]Group A:[/b] South Korea 2-1 Czech Republic – [i]Guadalajara, Mexico[/i][/p][p][b]Group B: [/b]Canada 1-1 Bosnia & Herzegovina – [i]Toronto, Canada[/i][/p][p][b][i]Saturday, June 13[/i][/b][/p][p][b]Group D: [/b]USA 4-1 Paraguay – [i]Los Angeles, USA[/i][/p][p][b]Group B: [/b]Qatar 1-1 Switzerland – [i]Santa Clara (San Francisco), USA[/i][/p][p][b][i]Sunday, June 14[/i][/b][/p][p][b]Group C[/b]: Brazil 1-1 Morocco – [i]New Jersey, USA[/i][/p][p][b]Group C: [/b]Haiti 0-1 Scotland – [i]Foxborough (Boston), USA[/i][/p][p][b]Group D: [/b]Australia 2-0 Turkey – [i]Vancouver, Canada[/i][/p][p][b]Group E: [/b]Germany 7-1 Curaçao – [i]Houston, USA[/i][/p][p][b]Group F:[/b] Netherlands 2-2 Japan – [i]Arlington (Dallas), USA[/i][/p][p][b][i]Monday, June 15[/i][/b][/p][p][b]Group E: [/b]Ivory Coast 1-0 Ecuador – [i]Philadelphia, USA[/i][/p][p][b]Group F: [/b]Sweden 5-1 Tunisia – [i]Guadalupe (Monterrey), Mexico[/i][/p][p][b]Group H: [/b]Spain 0-0 Cape Verde – [i]Atlanta, USA[/i][/p][p][b]Group G: [/b]Belgium 1-1 Egypt – [i]Seattle, USA[/i][/p][p][b][i]Tuesday, June 16[/i][/b][/p][p][b]Group H:[/b] Saudi Arabia 1-1 Uruguay -
