Group fixtures
What decides this group
Group D brings together Spain, Colombia, Egypt and New Zealand. The six matches are played across 6 venues — Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, Massachusetts; Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Estadio Azteca, Mexico City — starting with Spain against Colombia on 14 June 2026 and finishing with Colombia against Egypt on 24 June 2026.
With 48 teams in the 2026 format, the group stage decides which sides go straight through and which drop into the round of 32. Goal difference has settled more groups than any other tiebreaker in World Cup history, so the order of these six fixtures matters: the team that plays last knows exactly what it needs. Group D finishes on 24 June, which means the final matchday is played with the table already half-formed.
