Question 1

How many groups are there in World Cup 2026?

Accepted Answer

The 2026 FIFA World Cup features 12 groups with 4 teams each, for a total of 48 teams. This is an expansion from the previous 32-team, 8-group format.

Question 2

How do teams advance from World Cup 2026 groups?

Accepted Answer

The top 2 teams from each of the 12 groups (24 teams) plus the 8 best third-placed teams advance to the Round of 32 knockout stage. Teams are ranked by points (3 for win, 1 for draw), then goal difference, then goals scored.

Question 3

Which World Cup 2026 group is the hardest?

Accepted Answer

Group difficulty is measured by how evenly matched the teams are. Based on OddsFlow's Monte Carlo simulations, groups with multiple strong teams (such as those containing Brazil, France, Spain, or Argentina) create tighter qualification margins and higher elimination risk. Groups where the top team has over 90% advance probability tend to be less competitive for the second qualifying spot.

Question 4

How many matches does each team play in the group stage?

Accepted Answer

Each team plays 3 matches in the group stage, facing every other team in their group once. The 12 groups produce 6 matches each, totalling 72 group-stage matches.
