Analysis

The countdown to the 2026 World Cup is officially on and fans across the globe are hopeful their nation will emerge victorious at the MetLife Stadium on Sunday 19 July.

Argentina head into the tournament as the reigning champions following their penalty shootout victory over France in 2022 and they will be aiming to become just the third nation in history to retain the trophy - after Italy in 1938 and Brazil in 1962.

Below, we run through our favourites for the tournament from 42nd all the way to 1st.

42. Haiti

Officially the least likely team to win the World Cup, Haiti are 84th in the FIFA World Rankings as of November 2025.

In CONCACAF qualifying, they topped their group ahead of Nicaragua, Honduras and Costa Rica in third-round qualifying to progress.

Intriguingly, Haiti qualified despite the fact that their head coach, Sebastien Migne, has never actually set foot in the country.

This is because conflict in Haiti has forced the national team to play their home matches 500 miles away in Curacao - another nation who has defied the odds to qualify for the tournament.

41. Curacao

First-time finalists Curacao are one of the big benefactors of the expanded World Cup, but expectations for the tiny island nation of just 155,000 are not high.

In manager Dick Advocat, they do have a leader of top-level experience, and all of the Dutchman’s wily nature will be required to make his side competitive.

It was evident in qualifying ahead of Jamaica, that the old dog still has some tricks up his sleeve, with a scoreless draw in Kingston helping them on their way through Concacaf Group B with three wins and three draws.

40. Cape Verde

Cape Verde were one of the fairytale stories of World Cup qualifying as they upset the odds to become one of the smallest countries to ever reach football's biggest stage.

The Blue Sharks, led by Pedro Leitao Brito, also known as Bubista, have been able to tap into a sizable diaspora, which has helped to put this tiny island nation on the footballing map.

For as good as this story has been, Cape Verde will undoubtedly be one of the biggest underdogs at the 2026 World Cup. They have the players to cause better opposition problems, but it would be a major shock to see them get beyond the group stage.

39. Jordan

Jordan will also be making their debut appearance at a World Cup after finishing runners up in their qualification group ahead of teams such as Iraq and Oman.

The Gulf nation have risen to their highest-ever FIFA ranking since the appointment of Moroccan coach Jamal Sellami in 2024, having also finished as runners up of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup for the first time in their history.

Virtually all of Jordan’s players ply their trade in Asia, although Rennes winger Musa Al-Taamari is arguably the country’s most high-profile star and he will be hoping to show what his team are capable of, even if they are perhaps unlikely to progress past the group stages.

38. Panama

Panama have qualified for the World Cup for only the second time in their history. The first was in 2018 when they lost all three matches and conceded 11 goals. They will be hoping to do better this time around and they will be hopeful of doing so after some good results in recent months.

They qualified for the World Cup unbeaten after winning all four of their first round qualifiers, whilst winning three and drawing three of their second round games.

Ranked 30th, they are only one place off the highest FIFA World Ranking in their history. There are no big names in their team but they are packed with experience as three players have over 100 caps.

37. New Zealand

New Zealand took advantage of FIFA’s decision to grant Oceania a guaranteed place at the World Cup by booking their place at the tournament for the first time since 2010.

They famously drew all three group stages games in their last World Cup appearance, although they have fallen down to 86th place in the world rankings and while they cruised through qualifying with five wins in five games, big things aren’t expected of them in 2026.

Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood is undoubtedly their standout player and they will need him to be in top form if they want to progress into the knockout stages.

36. Qatar

Prior to 2026 qualification, Qatar had only ever qualified for one World Cup and that was due to their status as hosts for the 2022 edition of the tournament.

The pressure was on to prove to themselves that they belonged at this level of international football. In AFC qualification they impressed in the second round by winning five and drawing one out of their six games. In the third round they scraped through to round four, but won Group A ahead of the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait.

Striker Almoez Ali was the top scorer in AFC qualifying with 12 goals.

35. Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan are slowly but surely becoming a household name in Asian football as solid work at the youth level is beginning to bear fruit for the senior team.

2026 will be the country's first World Cup since independence. Moreover, Uzbekistan will be the first Central Asian country to take part in FIFA's showpiece event and only the third former Soviet republic after Russia and Ukraine.

The White Wolves, the reigning Central Asian champions, could be a dark horse to make it out of the group stage, and there is certainly quality in the team. Record goalscorer Eldor Shomurodov, Manchester City defender Abdukodir Khusanov and creative spark Abbosbek Fayzullaev are all notable players.

However, the coaching position is a major question mark. Italy legend Fabio Cannavaro was appointed in October 2025, so there has not been much time to build a proper connection with the team. His track record is also a worry. While Cannavaro was successful in China, all of his stints in European football proved short-lived, making this a risky appointment.

34. South Africa

Any team that has progressed through the laborious CAF qualifying process amply deserves their spot in the finals, and South Africa are no different.

The 2010 hosts will bring their vivacity to the competition after impressively topping a group that contained a highly fancied Nigeria side. However, Bafana Bafana made life difficult for themselves as they forfeited a fixture against Lesotho after fielding an ineligible player.

That blunder aside, Hugo Broos’ side offered impressive consistency, despite lacking the star names of the Super Eagles. Now, they are chasing qualification for the knockout stages of a World Cup for the first time.

33. Tunisia

Tunisia sailed through qualifying with nine wins and one draw in CAF Group H, with no African country registering more than their 28 points.

They remarkably didn’t concede a single goal in 10 qualifying matches and they will hope their defensive solidity will translate to a strong performance at the World Cup next summer. However, they may struggle against sterner opposition.

They have finished in third place in each of their last three World Cup group stage participations, notably beating a heavily-rotated France squad 1-0 in their final game in 2022, and despite lacking star quality, they could spring a surprise.

32. Saudi Arabia

Habitual qualifiers for the World Cup, Saudi hope that their investment in the Pro League pays off via an improvement in their national team. That was not evident in the qualifying process.

Saudi finished third behind Japan and Australia in Group C, forcing them into a group that was heavily weighted in their favour. As hosts, they edged out Indonesia 3-2, while a 0-0 draw against Iraq was able to push them to North America.

They reached the round of 16 when the World Cup previously visited the US but have since been eliminated in each of their subsequent five appearances. The aim is to go better here.

31. Australia

The Socceroos are World Cup regulars now as they have qualified for the last six tournaments in a row. Prior to 2006, they had only qualified once in 1974.

In the 2022 World Cup they made it to the Round of 16 but were eliminated by eventual champions, Argentina.

Australia were excellent in qualifying as they won every single match in the second round and finished just behind Japan in the third round to earn automatic qualification.

They scored 38 goals in qualifying but only Kusini Yengi scored six or more times so they are all about the collective.

30. Iran

One of the most decorated teams in Asia, Iran are a local powerhouse, but any tangible World Cup success has to date eluded Team Melli. Indeed, despite participating in seven tournaments, Iran have never managed to get beyond the group stage.

With 32 teams advancing from the 2026 World Cup group stage, it may finally be Iran's chance to get that particular monkey off their back. However, Amir Ghalenoei's side are unlikely to make a deep run.

The team lacks consistency, and recent results, even against ostensibly lesser opposition, have been underwhelming. There is also a political element that will loom large over Team Melli.

Iran is one of the nations affected by Donald Trump's travel ban, so support may be thin on the ground during games in the US. A boycott of the World Cup draw heightened tensions after members of the delegation were refused entry to the US, and there have been rumours that the national team may refuse to participate in the tournament altogether.

29. Paraguay

On paper, Paraguay are the weakest of the South American contingent that will make their way north in the summer, despite finishing level on points with Colombia, Uruguay and Brazil.

Unlike their rivals, this is a team very much built around defence. They scored just 14 goals across 18 qualifiers, with only bottom sides Peru and Chile faring worse in this regard.

Shutout in six of their nine away matches and off the back of friendly losses against South Korea and the USA in the autumn, expectations are not high for a side lacking a household name.

28. Ghana

Ghana failed to qualify for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations for the first time since 2004 after a shocking run of results, but they will be in action at the World Cup next year.

They topped CAF Group I with eight wins, one draw and only one defeat, and will be looking to reach the knockout stages for the first time since their memorable run to the quarter-finals in 2010.

Antoine Semenyo, Mohammed Kudus and Inaki Williams are a fearsome front three, while ex-Arsenal man Thomas Partey will anchor the midfield. Their issues will likely come from a defensive standpoint amid the lack of a quality goalkeeper and top-level central defenders.

27. Canada

As one of the three hosts of the World Cup, Canada qualified automatically, but probably would have progressed via CONCACAF anyway as their golden generation comes of age.

The Canucks were in Qatar in 2022, having reached the World Cup for just the second time and that was a wake-up call for the Canadian Soccer Association and some of its players.

For their home World Cup, they have brought in former RB Leipzig and Leeds United head coach Jesse Marsch who took them to the 2024 Copa America semi-finals thanks to strong performances from the likes of Alphonso Davies and Jonathan David.

Marsch has tried to arrange friendlies against top-tier nations to give his players the experience needed to compete in 2026, producing some impressive results like drawing with France and beating Colombia and Ecuador.

26. Algeria

Algeria will play at their fifth World Cup and make their first appearance since 2014 after topping their qualification group with eight wins in ten games.

The North African nation have underwhelmed since winning AFCON in 2019 after being knocked out at the group stage in the following two tournaments, while also failing to qualify for the 2022 World Cup.

But, with the likes of captain Riyad Mahrez and all-time top scorer Islam Slimani, Algeria will be hoping to progress past the group stage at the World Cup for just the second time, having done so in 2014.

25. Egypt

Egypt will travel to North America for only the fourth World Cup finals appearance in their history, the others being in 1930, 1990 and most recently in 2018 when they lost all three games.

Indeed, Egypt have never actually won a match at the World Cup in seven attempts, so the 34th ranked team in the world will be hoping to put that right in 2026.

They cruised through qualification, winning eight of their 10 games and conceding just two goals.

They are led by their nation’s greatest ever player, Mohamed Salah, who scored nine goals in qualifying and on whom all their hopes are pinned on. Salah has endured a difficult season for Liverpool and at 33 years old, there are now questions about his age but he remains a superstar for Egypt.

24. Korea Republic

Legendary forward Heung-min Son’s career at club level may be winding down after a high-profile switch to Major League Soccer with Los Angeles FC, but he is just as important as ever for his nation, the Korea Republic.

He finished with 10 goals in qualifying which was only bettered by one player.

This is by no means a one-man band, though, as the likes of Lee Jae-sung and Lee Kang-in have come on leaps and bounds for their country.

Korea topped both their groups in second and third-round qualifying to reach the World Cup in emphatic fashion.

23. Cote d’Ivoire

After failing to qualify for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, Ivory Coast have enjoyed a resurgence in recent years. In 2024, the Elephants won the Africa Cup of Nations on home soil despite a mid-tournament coaching change.

The Ivorians managed to comfortably qualify for the World Cup from a relatively tough group, which included runners-up Gabon, The Gambia and Kenya, winning eight and drawing two.

Head coach Emerse Fae has a good mix of youthful talent and grizzled veterans at his disposal. The spine of Fae's team is one of the strongest in all of Africa and will give them a good chance to be one of the 32 teams to advance beyond the group stage, which would be a historic first for the Elephants.

22. Scotland

Now that Scotland are in their first World Cup since 1998, the question will inevitably be asked: is this the year that the Tartan Army finally get to watch their side in major tournament knockout football?

Steve Clarke’s side failed at both Euro 2020 and 2024, with the manager’s tactics coming under scrutiny in these competitions. Nevertheless, lessons have been learned and this is a squad not without talent.

Inspired by Scott McTominay, whose brilliant overhead kick helped seal a remarkable win over Denmark at Hampden to propel the Scots directly to North America, this is a sense that this could finally be their time.

21. Austria

Austria will be playing at their first World Cup this century, having last featured in 1998, after overcoming the likes of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Romania in qualification.

Having reached the knockout rounds in the last two European Championships, Austria will feel encouraged that they can do the same next summer and even dream of emulating their 1954 squad, who finished in third place to win a bronze medal.

Captained by Real Madrid defender David Alaba, Austria will lean on their experienced players such as Marco Arnautovic – who has the most goals and caps in their history – as well as former Manchester United loanee Marcel Sabitzer.

20. Uruguay

Gone are the days when Uruguay could call upon elite strikers like Diego Forlan, Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez, and there is instead now the presence of the enigmatic Darwin Nunez, who could emerge as a match winner on his day.

Indeed, their talisman these days is combative midfielder Federico Valverde who has emerged as a key player for Real Madrid over the last decade.

They weren’t particularly spectacular in qualifying as they won seven, drew seven and lost four of their 18 games, but it was enough to see them reach the World Cup in relative comfort.

They might not have the star power like before, but teams will want to avoid Uruguay.

19. Ecuador

Ecuador finished CONMEBOL qualifying in second place, losing just two of their 18 matches, and they could be ones to watch at the World Cup.

Argentina were the only country to better their points tally of 29, with Colombia, Uruguay and Brazil all notably finishing behind Sebastian Beccacece’s side.

They aren’t blessed with an abundance of attacking options, but they only conceded five goals in 18 qualifying games - the best record of any South American nation - and their stern defence will be a real issue for opponents. Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo and Paris Saint-Germain defender Willian Pacho are their standout players.

18. Mexico

As one of the three host nations at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, there is much excitement and pressure for the Mexico national team.

They did not have to qualify for the tournament so it is not easy to say just how strong they are, even if they are the 15th best ranked team in the world.

Mexico won the 2025 Gold Cup, defeating the United States in the final, although their results and performances were extremely poor in the second half of 2025. They are without a win in their last six games heading into 2026, notably being thrashed 4-0 by Colombia in October.

Much of their squad is based in Mexico but there are a few European-based stars such as AC Milan’s Santiago Gimenez and Fulham’s Raul Jimenez.

17. USA

The pressure is severely on the USMNT and head coach Mauricio Pochettino to perform in front of their home fans as the host nation.

Preparation has gotten steadily better after the Gold Cup final loss to Mexico as they most recently demolished Uruguay 5-1 in an impressive friendly victory. The lack of competitive games in the year prior to the tournament may be an issue as Pochettino has struggled to find his best XI.

This is pretty much a team of work horses. They might have some magic from the likes of Christian Pulisic, but his relationship to the national team has been strained since he pulled out of the Gold Cup, receiving criticism from the likes of Landon Donovan for his decision.

16. Switzerland

Placed 17th in the FIFA Rankings, Switzerland are not a team that should be readily underestimated. Qualification, after all, came with little fuss as they progressed through a group that contained dangerous but ultimately disappointing opponents in the form of Slovenia and Sweden.

The Swiss are a tournament-hardened side, used to progressing to the latter stages of competitions. They have been in the last 16 of the last three World Cups and the quarter-finals of each of the last two European Championships, knocking France out in 2020.

Granit Xhaka is their star man and characterises so much of what this team is about, with grit and understated technical quality.

15. Senegal

Senegal went unbeaten in qualifying and their recent friendly victory over England suggests they could be real contenders for a deep run into the knockout stages in 2026.

They reached the last-16 stage in 2022 and are a strong bet to go even better this time around given the riches at Pape Thiaw’s disposal.

Sadio Mane, Ismaila Sarr, Iliman Ndiaye and Nicolas Jackson are in contention to start in forward areas, while Pape Matar Sarr, Pape Gueye, Idrissa Gana Gueye, Kalidou Koulibaly and El Hadji Malick Diouf are all top-level players in midfield and defence.

14. Japan

Perennial favourites with neutrals, Japan are the highest-ranked Asian team competing at the 2026 World Cup and recent World Cup performances should be cause for optimism.

The Samurai Blue were one of the most exciting teams at the 2018 and 2022 editions of FIFA's showpiece event, dazzling with good football and stylish kits.

However, things came unstuck at the 2023 Asian Cup, and the hype surrounding Hajime Moriyasu's team died down significantly. Japan were among the favourites to take home the trophy but crashed out against Iran in the quarter-finals.

AFC qualifying provided some respite as Japan were the first non-host nation to reach the 2026 World Cup, but they are something of an unknown quantity heading into the tournament.

If Japan are at the top of their game in 2026, they could easily cause a few upsets and again win over the hearts of neutrals.

13. Morocco

The surprise package of the last World Cup, Morocco made history in 2022 by becoming the first African and first Arab team to reach the semi-final.

With the 2030 World Cup being held in six of its cities as well as in Portugal and Spain, the FRMF, the country’s football federation, has looked to promote the game domestically. This saw them win the African Nations Championship in 2024, a tournament only for players who play in their national leagues.

Many of these Morocco-based players then go on to move to bigger leagues in Europe or else star on their home continent for the likes of Wydad and Raja Casablanca, AS FAR or RS Berkane.

These home-grown players have combined with the country’s diaspora to make them Africa’s best contenders for the World Cup, where they will look to the experience of Spain-born Achraf Hakimi and Netherlands-born Sofyan Amrabat and the excitement of younger stars like Belgium-born Bilal El Khannouss.

12. Croatia

Croatia’s period as the perennial World Cup dark horses is probably over as their once star-studded side has been depleted due to age, really. The legendary Luka Modric is still around, obviously, but he’s no spring chicken.

Having said that, they were terrific in qualifying and won seven and drew one of their eight matches. In those eight games they scored 26 goals and conceded just four.

There is actually a nice mix of young and old here, with the likes of Modric, Ivan Perisic and Andrej Kramaric complemented by the likes of Inter’s Petar Sucic.

They should have no problems getting out of the group stage, but this isn’t the team that reached the 2018 final.

11. Belgium

The peak years of Belgium’s Golden Generation may have passed, but there’s still a lot to like about a side that qualified ahead of the likes of Wales and North Macedonia.

Rudi Garcia’s side have scoring power in spades. This was underlined as they twice banged four by Wales in qualifying.

But there are worries for Belgium’s aging squad. Key figures Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku, who are their major goal threats, have both suffered significant injuries in 2025, and how the Napoli pair can respond will likely dictate just how high Belgium’s hopes are as they travel west in the summer.

Knocked out in the group stage in Qatar, they have to do better this time around… don’t they?

10. Colombia

Colombia are back at the FIFA World Cup after failing to qualify for Qatar 2022.

They were one of the best performers in CONMEBOL World Cup qualification, finishing in third place with just four defeats in 18 games.

They are now ranked in 13th place in the FIFA Ranking and will be a dangerous team to watch out for at the World Cup in North America.

They boast quality in attack with Bayern Munich star Luis Diaz and Sporting Lisbon’s Luis Suarez, as well as exciting Benfica midfielder Richard Rios. In defence they have one of Serie A’s best defenders in Jhon Lucumi.

9. Norway

Norway cruised through the qualification process with a 100% record to seal their place at the World Cup for the first time since 1998. It will also be their first major tournament of any kind since Euro 2000.

They were one of only two European nations to win every single qualifying match, alongside England, with Italy notably swept aside 3-0 and 4-1 in their two meetings.

Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland scored a whopping 16 goals in eight qualifiers and he will no doubt play a significant role if Norway are to live up their billing as the 2026 dark horses.

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard will be crucial too, while their squad is littered with other quality players such as Oscar Bobb, Alexander Sorloth, Antonio Nusa, Jorgen Strand Larsen and Sander Berge. Underestimate Norway at your peril.

8. Netherlands

The pressure will be on the Netherlands to avoid more World Cup disappointment after being knocked out at the quarter-final stage in 2022, having failed to qualify for the 2018 tournament altogether.

Ronald Koeman’s side have never won a World Cup and will be encouraged by their semi-final finish at Euro 2024 and going unbeaten during their qualification stage for next summer’s tournament.

Much will depend on the performances of captain Virgil van Dijk as well as Memphis Depay, who became the country’s all-time top goalscorer recently, although the Netherlands would do well to go beyond the quarter-finals again this time around.

7. Germany

Germany have been an enigma since winning the 2014 World Cup, and not even coaching prodigy Julian Nagelsmann has managed to achieve any semblance of consistency.

The 2024 European Championship on home soil provided plenty of excitement for the future, but the DFB team has failed to live up to the hype since.

World Cup qualifying was a mixed bag, even though Germany won five out of their six games. While results were mostly positive, performances were very much not, with the exception of the final game, a 6-0 drubbing of second-placed Slovakia.

Heading into the 2026 World Cup, there are too many question marks hanging over Nagelsmann's team to make any kind of safe predictions. How will Florian Wirtz perform after a difficult start to life at Liverpool? Will Jamal Musiala be at his best after a long injury? What is Nagelsmann's best team?

In terms of pure quality, Germany could go deep at the World Cup, but recent tournaments have shown that it is ill-advised to get too excited about the Germans.

6. Brazil

A World Cup would not be a World Cup without Brazil. The competition’s most successful team, they have lifted the trophy on four different continents, including two of the three times it was held in North America.

The current crop of Selecao stars is not as flashy or star-studded as Pele’s panel who won in Mexico in 1970 or Romario’s roster from USA 1994, but the five-time winners can never be counted out.

All of their attackers are household names and head coach Carlo Ancelotti will have headaches choosing who to start from a list that includes players like Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, Raphinha, Joao Pedro, Matheus Cunha, Antony, Richarlison and wonderkids Estevao and Endrick.

5. Portugal

Portugal seemed to be qualifying easily for the World Cup until Cristiano Ronaldo’s stray elbow against the Republic of Ireland sparked some late concern. Without the Al-Nassr ace, Roberto Martinez’s side booked their place in the finals with 9-1 win over Armenia.

Ronaldo might have expected to sit out the first two matches at the World Cup due to this red card, but FIFA let him off with a suspended ban, meaning he will be present and correct for the tournament in a big boost to Iberians.

The quality throughout this side, though, is formidable. Arguably, there is not a nation with a collection of midfielders like Portugal, with Vitinha, Joao Neves, Matheus Nunes, Bernardo Silva and Bruno Fernandes among the options pushing to get into the team.

Portugal’s best World Cup finish was fourth in 2006. This team will be in the mix to do even better.

4. Argentina

The brilliance of Lionel Messi dragged Argentina to success at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar but the legendary superstar will be 39 years old by the time the 2026 World Cup final comes around. It is simply too much to ask for a repeat of the previous tournament and, indeed, the Inter Miami star hasn’t even confirmed he’ll be at the next World Cup yet.

Argentina, of course, have other superstars in their ranks and the likes of Julian Alvarez, Alexis Mac Allister, Nico Paz and Lautaro Martinez are more than capable of taking this team far into the knockout stages.

Having Messi around in some capacity, even if he doesn’t play every game, will boost this squad.

Truth be told, it’s been so long since we saw Argentina without Messi, it’s tough to say what the team will look like without him.

3. England

England head into the 2026 World Cup as one of the firm favourites for victory after back-to-back second-place finishes at the European Championships and a flawless qualifying process.

Thomas Tuchel masterminded eight victories in eight matches without conceding a single goal in World Cup qualifying and given the talent in the Three Lions squad, it would be a huge upset if they are unable to progress into the latter stages of knockouts.

However, their lack of preparation against top nations is a slight concern and there is a lingering feeling that France and Spain may both be better equipped to get over the finishing line.

2. France

Two-time champions France approach the World Cup finals knowing that this will be Didier Deschamps’ last hurrah. The coach has performed wonders over his 14-year spell, building a team where once there had only been individuals.

Deschamps knows how to manage these tournaments. France might not always play the most attractive game, but they are a wily and versatile unit, capable of winning matches in many different ways.

Crucially, there is also star quality throughout the squad, with Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe expected to be the team leader as he seeks to cement his status with a second World Cup, which would give him a strong shot at the Ballon d’Or.

1. Spain

Reigning European champions Spain will be the team to beat at the 2026 World Cup. Ranked first in the world, Luis de la Fuente's men have been a pretty much unstoppable machine since the Euros in Germany.

La Roja enjoyed an almost spotless qualifying phase, with only the final game - a 2-2 draw with Turkey - sullying what was otherwise a perfect run of matches.

With a goal difference of +19 in six matches, Spain showed that they are irresistible when they are in full flow and a clear favourite to not only reach but to win the final at MetLife Stadium in July 2026.

Most of the talk will be about Lamine Yamal, Pedri and Nico Williams, but don't sleep on the unsung heroes in De la Fuente's side: Mikel Merino, Mikel Oyarzabal and Marc Cucurella.
