Argentina FIFA World Cup 2026 Matches, Date, Time and Venues

The reigning champions, Argentina, are gearing up to defend their title at the expanded FIFA World Cup 2026. The tournament is set to feature a record 48 football teams, turning it into a spectacle. However, the football fans are excited to see their favorite Lionel Messi for probably the last time on the big stage. And are eager to know the Argentina FIFA World Cup 2026 matches and schedule.

Fans are eager to see if two of the greatest football players in the world, Cristiano Ronald and Lionel Messi, will meet in the early stages of the games, but considering the draw format, it's highly unlikely for them to meet before the later knockout stages.

Lionel Scaloni's side was ultimately placed in Group J for the tournament. Initially, they had been selected for Group I, but this placement was revised because Spain was assigned to Group H. FIFA rules prohibit having top-ranked teams seeded in a way that would place them in the same knockout bracket too early, so adjustments were made to ensure the top-ranked sides would be properly distributed in the round of 16 and beyond.

FIFA had already said the top four teams in the rankings, Spain, Argentina, France and England, will avoid each other until the semifinals if they finish first in their first-round groups. Check the Argentina FIFA World Cup Matches 2026 list.
