"The seeding system in place means England will be kept apart from some of the other biggest nations at the World Cup. The Three Lions cannot play against Spain or Argentina until the semi-finals, and they can't face France until the final. However, we could see England and Scotland renew their rivalry, as they are in Pot 1 and Pot 3, respectively, meaning they can be drawn in the same group, as they were at Euro 2020."
"The draw takes place later today from Washington DC, at 5pm UK time. It will be broadcast live on the BBC, so you can follow it on BBC Two or through iPlayer. The full schedule won't come out straight away, with those details coming later in the week. For the venues, dates and kick-off times, there will be a further update from FIFA on Saturday 6th December at 5pm UK time."
The 2026 World Cup will be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico, beginning on 11 June 2026, with most entrants confirmed but a few play-offs remaining to finalize the field. The group-stage draw is scheduled from Washington DC at 5pm UK time and will be broadcast live on the BBC. FIFA will publish venue, date and kick-off details on Saturday 6 December at 5pm UK time. Seeding rules prevent England facing Spain or Argentina until the semi-finals and France until the final; England could still be drawn with Scotland. Groups may contain at most two European teams and no more than one team from any other confederation.
