Each of the 48 qualified nations submitted a final squad of up to 26 players ahead of the tournament, split across goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, and forwards. Search or tap a country below to see its full roster, club affiliation, and age for every named player.
For the first time, the World Cup expands to 48 teams, which means an extra knockout round before the familiar Round of 16. The top two finishers from each of the 12 groups qualify automatically, joined by the eight best third-place teams to fill out a 32-team bracket. Until the group stage wraps up, the slots below will show seeded placeholders like "1A" or "2B", they'll lock in to real team names as soon as each group is finalized.

WCMatchday 2026 was built by a fan who got tired of bouncing between different apps and websites just to follow the World Cup. We always ask ourselves midmatch "who does this player play for again?", "which country is more likely to win based off perceived squad strength?", "who will this team play if the current score holds?".
No more switching between sites: one for scores, another for squads, another for the bracket, another for stats. This site puts all of it in one place: live scores, full squads, the calendar, group standings, the knockout bracket, player stats, and a running log of the tournament's biggest VAR and refereeing controversies.
It's a side project, not a company. Scores and stats are updated roughly once a day rather than refreshed live every minute.
The goal is for WCMatchday to always be free for anyone to use, no accounts, no paywalls, no subscriptions. If something looks wrong or missing, there's a feedback button in the top right, every report gets read.
WCMatchday 2026 does not require an account and does not collect personal information directly. The site does not ask for your name, email, or any other identifying details to use any feature.
