The Mirror says the World Cup 2026 “gets underway in just a matter of days” and that it is the tournament’s “first-ever expansion to 48 teams,” with “104 matches played across 39 days.”

The Mirror also states the tournament “kicks off on Thursday, June 11” with “Mexico vs South Africa” and “wraps up on July 19 with the final, set to be played at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.”

Metro.co.uk adds that “England and Scotland are amongst the 48 teams” taking part, and that the competition is being held across the US, Canada and Mexico with “all 104 games from across the five weeks available to watch for free on TV in the UK.”

The BBC frames the wallchart as “your essential piece of kit” and says it was published “2 June 2026,” with a “DOWNLOAD YOUR WALLCHART HERE” prompt for fixtures and results tracking.

The Mirror describes a structure in which “The competing nations will be split into 12 groups of four teams,” with “the top two sides from each group and the eight best third-placed teams” advancing to the “new round of 32.”

It adds that “Once the group stage concludes, all remaining matches will be played in knockout format,” and says there will be “40 more matches to keep tabs on than the Qatar World Cup in 2022.”

Metro.co.uk similarly says the “additional 16 teams means there are now 12 World Cup groups instead of the customary eight,” and that “the 24 group winners and runner-ups” join “the eight best third-placed sides in the Round of 32.”

The Mirror says the World Cup groups were finalised following the “final draw in December” and “the last qualifying matches in March,” and notes that “England, under the management of Thomas Tuchel” have confirmed their “final 26-man squads” by a “June 1 deadline.”

Metro.co.uk also states that Spain are “favourites to win the World Cup for the second time in their history,” and says Spain head into the tournament on an “incredible unbeaten run” since “2023.”

The BBC positions the wallchart as a way to “keep track of the results using your essential piece of kit,” and it points readers to “World Cup 2026: How to follow on the BBC” as part of its coverage.
