Your guide to WC 2026 results page

This is a single results hub for the entire tournament. Before the opening match on 11 June, the tables show the fixture schedule with TBD in the result column. From the first kick-off onwards, the result column fills with live scores during matches and final scores after the final whistle.

All dates and kick-off times use Belgian time. The tournament is played across 16 venues in three countries (United States, Mexico and Canada) spanning three time zones, so a match listed in the official schedule as "Sunday 14 June" in local venue time may appear here as either Sunday or Monday CEST depending on the kick-off slot.

All results shown here become official only after the final whistle. Live scores update on the page during play, and the source of truth for every result is the official tournament records.

Authoritative reference sources used to build and verify this hub: the official match schedule and venues, the qualification and tie-breaker rules, and ongoing tournament news coverage such as AP News reporting.

Please Note: "TBD" means the match has not kicked off yet. During the tournament, this will be replaced by the live or final score.
