FIFA World Cup 2026 - Group Stage

The World Cup is split into two KisaPlay games. This is the group-stage game: its own fixtures, predictions, and leaderboards before the playoffs.

When

11-27 June 2026

Where

Canada, Mexico, and the United States, with matches across host-city stadiums in North America.

Background

The group stage decides the 32 teams that continue. Group-stage leaderboards close around this phase, and the playoffs start as a separate second game.

Tournament format

Forty-eight teams play in 12 groups of four. The top two teams in every group plus the eight best third-placed teams advance to the playoffs. These top lists count group-stage points only.

The World Cup is clearly split into two games: the group stage and the later playoffs. Each has its own fixtures, predictions, and leaderboards, so people can still join the playoff game even if they missed the groups.
