"Spain (1st seed) and defending champions Argentina (2nd seed), have been placed in opposite sides of the draw - meaning the earliest they can meet is the final. France (3rd) and England (4th) have been similarly paired, which means the Three Lions will not be able to come up against Spain or Argentina until the semi-finals, and France until the final."
"FIFA have confirmed the pots and seedings for the World Cup 2026 draw, which takes place on December 5. England, the world's fourth-ranked side, have been drawn in Pot 1 alongside the likes of Spain, Argentina, France and Brazil, as well as host nations United States, Canada and Mexico. Scotland, who sealed their place at the World Cup for the first time since 1998 in stunning style against Denmark last week, have been placed in Pot 3, joining the likes of Norway, Egypt and Algeria."

England, ranked fourth, are in Pot 1 alongside Spain, Argentina, France, Brazil and host nations United States, Canada and Mexico. Scotland qualified and are placed in Pot 3 with Norway, Egypt and Algeria. Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland will pursue places via March play-offs, with all four UEFA winners entering Pot 4. FIFA seeded the top four ranked teams to avoid each other until at least the semi-finals; Spain and Argentina are on opposite sides so they can only meet in the final.
