The 2026 World Cup group stage is nearing its dramatic conclusion. Matchday 3 got underway on Wednesday, with the remaining fixtures set to wrap up on Saturday, June 27.
A number of sides have already punched their tickets to the knockout rounds, while the tournament's expanded format means plenty of others will be left in suspense before learning their fate.
Mexico became the first nation to seal a spot in the last 32, courtesy of a 1–0 win over South Korea in their second group outing. A third consecutive victory, a commanding 3–0 triumph over Czechia, confirmed El Tri as Group A winners with a perfect nine-point haul.
Fellow hosts the U.S. and Canada also secured their places in the next round—though Canada advanced only as runners-up following a 2–1 loss to Switzerland. Mauricio Pochettino's side, meanwhile, held onto top spot despite a dramatic 3–2 late defeat to Türkiye.
Many more heavyweights have now advanced or are on the verge of doing so, and the bracket is beginning to take shape. Here's a full breakdown of every confirmed fixture in the World Cup's historic first-ever round of 32.

Confirmed Round of 32 Matches at the 2026 World Cup
South Africa vs. Canada
As Group B runners-up, Jesse Marsch's Canada are scheduled to take on South Africa, who pulled off a mild upset by defeating South Korea 1–0 to advance as the second-placed side in Group A.
Bafana Bafana bounced back from a sluggish opening-day loss to Mexico, earning a draw against Czechia before sealing a final-day win. Canada, by contrast, began their group campaign promisingly—drawing 1–1 with Bosnia and Herzegovina and thrashing Qatar 6–0—before a deflating final-day defeat to Switzerland dropped them to second place.
Neither side has ever claimed a victory in a World Cup knockout fixture.
Netherlands vs. Morocco
The Netherlands rounded off a strong Group F campaign with a 3–1 victory over Tunisia, clinching top spot in the group.
This sets up a tantalizing clash with Group C runners-up Morocco, who finished just behind Brazil on goal difference. The tie carries an added layer of storyline, with Morocco internationals Sofyan Amrabat, Anass Salah-Eddine, and Noussair Mazraoui all having been born in the Netherlands.
