World Cup fever is building as the tournament’s opening game gets underway tomorrow – and for the first time ever, 48 nations will compete for football’s biggest prize across three host countries: Canada, the United States and Mexico.
England, managed by Thomas Tuchel, will face Croatia, Ghana and Panama in Group L. Tuchel is hoping to end a 60-year wait for England to bring football home, but Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo – both likely making their final World Cup appearances – have other plans.
“World Cup 2026 starts tomorrow; England in Group L with Croatia, Ghana, Panama.”
Scotland, meanwhile, have been drawn into Group C alongside Brazil, Morocco and Haiti. With kick-off times varying across the three time zones, supporters can expect early and late matches throughout the tournament.
The expanded format means more nations than ever will be vying for glory. SunSport has published the full match schedule, including all key dates for fans’ diaries.
