FIFA World Cup 2026 Draw: When and Where to Watch the Live Event in India

Udaipur, December 05, 2025: The World Cup draw always makes football fans excited. A country’s confidence before the World Cup depends a lot on this draw. Which team goes into which group, and how easy or difficult each team’s path will be—everything is decided here.

The football mega event will begin on June 11 next year. This important draw is being held in Washington, exactly 188 days before the opening match. Countries that have already qualified for the World Cup are waiting for this moment. Fans who have already bought tickets in the lottery are also eager to know which stadium they will get to watch their games in—whether they will be lucky or unlucky.

Out of the 48 teams, 41 have already qualified. The final six teams will be decided through playoff matches in March next year. All 48 teams will be divided into 12 groups of four. The top nine seeds, including the USA, Canada, and Mexico, are placed in Pot 1 for the draw.

The last World Cup in 2022 was won by Argentina, where Lionel Messi and his team lifted the trophy in Qatar. With the biggest World Cup ever coming up, fans are eager to see how the 2026 edition will turn out and which teams will shine.
