At the 2026 World Cup, three countries will host the tournament for the first time. It will also be the largest World Cup of all time with 48 teams. These teams meet in Group G.

The World Cup will take place in the USA, Canada and Mexico from June 11 to July 19, 2026. The respective groups were drawn in Washington, DC on December 5, 2025. Iran, New Zealand, Belgium and Egypt will face each other in Group G.

You can also find out when and where the teams meet here. Please note that the dates and kick-off times are Central European Time, not local time.

Live tickers will once again be available to you on t-online for the World Cup finals. It is still unclear who will broadcast the games on TV. However, ARD and ZDF will show 60 of the tournament’s 104 games live, including all of the German national team’s games. At Telekom with its streaming service Magenta TV, sports enthusiasts can watch all World Cup games.
