The expanded 2026 FIFA World Cup format features 48 teams divided into 12 groups of four, with the top two from each group plus the eight strongest third-placed sides advancing to the round of 32. Stronger squads such as Spain, England, Brazil, and France enter with favorable group draws and deep rosters built around recent Nations League and qualifying results. Most teams completed qualification by late March, with the final draw held in December 2025 and intercontinental playoffs settled shortly afterward. Pre-tournament factors include squad depth, recent form in friendlies or domestic leagues, and historical group-stage performance, while potential late injuries or rest advantages ahead of the June 11 opener could still shift implied probabilities for borderline contenders.
