FIFA Men's World Cup draw live updates as 2026 groups are revealed with Trump at Kennedy Center event
The 2026 Men's World Cup will be held across the United States, Canada and Mexico next summer.
www.cbsnews.comHere’s the latest on the 2026 FIFA World Cup draw.
Answer in brief:
- The World Cup draw for 2026 (48 teams across the USA, Canada, and Mexico) took place in December 2025 at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Groups were announced and teams were assigned to their 12 groups of four.
Key details and how to follow live:
- Group allocations: 12 groups labeled A–L, each containing four teams. The host nations (USA, Canada, Mexico) were placed in their respective groups, and other teams were drawn into pots that determined group placements. If you want the exact group-by-group lineup, I can pull the precise results for each group.
- How to watch: The draw was broadcast with live updates and analysis across major outlets in the U.S., Canada, and international networks. Typical coverage included Fox in the U.S. and various broadcasters globally; streams and highlight reels are usually available on the tournament’s official channels and major sports media sites.
- Notable notes: This is the first World Cup to feature 48 teams and the first hosted by three countries. There are procedural safeguards to keep the top-ranked teams from facing each other before the knockout rounds, similar to past draws.
