FIFA World Cup 2026 schedule and format
The FIFA World Cup 2026 will run from June 11 to July 19, 2026. It will be hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico, making it the first men’s World Cup staged across three countries.
The tournament will feature 48 teams and 104 matches, making it the biggest FIFA World Cup so far. The official fixture structure is available on FIFA’s World Cup schedule page.
Because the tournament is being played in North America, several matches may air late at night or early in the morning in India. Big games involving Argentina, Brazil, England, France, Portugal, Germany and Spain are still expected to draw strong viewership.
What Indian viewers should remember
The main update is simple: FIFA World Cup 2026 is expected to be available in India through Zee5 for streaming and Zee’s sports network for TV broadcast. The Zee5 plan screen already shows FIFA WC’26 under a sports-inclusive pack, with a 3-month price of ₹799 displayed.
Before paying, fans should confirm final FIFA World Cup access inside the Zee5 app, especially if they want live matches, 4K streaming, language options or ad-free viewing. Zee is likely to release a clearer match-by-match broadcast guide closer to June 2026.
