Group fixtures
What decides this group
Group F brings together France, Senegal, Iran and Panama. The six matches are played across 6 venues — BC Place, Vancouver; MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey; AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Texas — starting with France against Senegal on 11 June 2026 and finishing with Senegal against Iran on 21 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 F finishes on 21 June, which means the final matchday is played with the table already half-formed.
