How the new format works
48 teams in 12 groups of 4. Top two from each group plus the eight best third-placed teams advance to a Round of 32, then standard knockouts through to the final.
Compared to previous tournaments with 32 teams in 8 groups, the 2026 edition adds a full Round of 32 stage before the Round of 16. Teams reaching the final play 8 matches instead of 7. The expanded format means 16 new countries get their World Cup debut or return after years away — including Cape Verde, Curacao, Jordan, Uzbekistan.
