2026 World Cup Standings
Every group table in one place. Points, wins, goal difference and goals, with the live order of all 12 groups as results come in.
How to read the standings?
Teams are listed best to worst, so the team on top has the most points.
The 2 highlighted teams in each group go through to the knockout stage, along with the 8 best 3rd-place teams across all groups.
When teams have the same points, goal difference breaks the tie, then goals scored, then the result of the game between them. See the full tiebreakers for the rest.
