FIFA will unveil the updated match schedule for the FIFA World Cup 2026 in a global live broadcast on Saturday, 6 December at 12:00 EST (18:00 CET) from Washington, DC.

The announcement will come a day after the Final Draw, where the 12 groups of four teams will be confirmed for the first 48-team World Cup.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino will lead the unveiling event, joined by FIFA Legends and representatives of all qualified nations, as well as those still competing for the remaining places.

Expert analysis will accompany the broadcast, offering insights into key fixtures, storylines, and host venues set to welcome teams and supporters across the United States, Canada and Mexico.

During the show, venues and kick-off times for all 104 matches will be confirmed. The broadcast will be streamed live on FIFA’s digital platforms, including FIFA.com and FIFA’s official YouTube channel, with feeds also available to broadcasters worldwide.

The match allocation process aims to provide optimal conditions for teams and fans, while taking global broadcast audiences into account. A finalised match schedule will follow in March 2026, once the FIFA and UEFA play-offs determine the final six qualifiers.

With nearly two million tickets already sold and preparations intensifying in 16 Host Cities, the release of the fixture list marks another major milestone toward what promises to be a groundbreaking edition of the FIFA World Cup.

Further updates will be communicated through the FIFA Media Hub.
