World Cup 2026 is here – bringing with it that all-too-familiar heady mix of excitement, optimism and nerves.

Fittingly, this summer’s tournament in Canada, Mexico and the United States will be ‘Supersize’. Following the expansion from 32 teams, 48 nations will go for glory at the festival of football in North America, which is set to serve up 104 matches across 16 host cities over 39 days.
Keeping track of the biggest World Cup ever will be no mean feat – particularly with games played across four different time zones and many kicking off through the night for UK viewers – but never fear, Radio Times has got you covered.
Every fixture will be at your fingertips with our World Cup 2026 wall chart, ensuring that, whatever your allegiances, you don’t miss the moments that matter.
The tournament kicks off on Thursday 11 June – with Scotland joining the party in the early hours of Sunday 14 June and England starting their trophy chase on Wednesday 17 June – and runs until the final on Sunday 19 July. Get World Cup ready and plan your tournament now!
