These are the nations that could qualify for World Cup 2026 in Thursday’s matches.
The final World Cup qualifying games start today, Thursday November 13, for the first of two matchdays running until Tuesday November 18. By then, we will know most of the qualified nations for World Cup 2026 in USA, Mexico and Canada.
For European nations, there are 12 reserved spots, one for each of the group winners on each of the 12 groups. Of those, only England secured qualification last month, but many could seal their presence at World Cup earlier.
There will be 4 more spots available only for European nations, but who takes them will be decided in the European play-offs in March 2026. Teams that will participate there will be all 12 runner-ups from each group, plus the four best ranked Nations League section winners who did not finish in the top two (which, currently, they could be Wales, Romania, Sweden, Northern Ireland, Moldova or San Marino)
Today, Thursday November 13, we will have games for Groups D, F, I and K.
