With the international window still ongoing, several teams have the opportunity to secure their place in the 2026 FIFA World Cup today, March 25. A total of 48 teams will compete for the prestigious trophy, with 39 teams set to join the three host nations by the end of 2025. The remaining six spots will be decided through inter-confederation playoffs next year.
Teams That Have Already Qualified for FIFA World Cup 2026
1. United States
2. Canada
3. Mexico
4. Japan (AFC third round Group C winners/runners-up)
5. New Zealand (OFC third round winners)
Teams That Can Qualify Today (March 25)
Iran currently tops Group A in the third round of the Asian qualifiers, having gone unbeaten over the last seven matches. The side will be certain of qualifying for the World Cup should it strike some more dazzling form and stave off defeat against Uzbekistan today. A loss today might still see it through, provided both Qatar and the UAE win none of their next respective matches.
Uzbekistan lies in second position in group A, three points behind Iran. If they manage to defeat Iran today, they will have a chance of securing their qualification, too, but will also be relying on results from the other matches in the group.
Group B leader South Korea is almost there too. A victory over Jordan today will go a long way toward enhancing their prospects. Matters could be sealed somewhat earlier should Palestine take points off Iraq in another highly consequential Group B clash.
Defending champions- Argentina are steamrolling the South American qualifiers and are just one step away from confirming their ticket to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Fiercely contested by Argentina, Brazil will today settle the matter; even a draw suffices for entering the World Cup, thus potentially guaranteeing Lion-al Messi another shot on football's biggest stage.
Road to the 2026 FIFA World Cup
With five teams already qualified and more teams on the brink of securing their spots, the journey to the 2026 FIFA World Cup is shaping up to be an exciting one. As the qualification process nears its conclusion, all eyes will be on today’s decisive matches that could reshape the landscape of the tournament.
