UEFA
The European Qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup 2026 follow a structured competition format designed to determine which teams will advance to the tournament. The qualifiers are divided into several groups, each consisting of national teams from across Europe.
Teams play each other in a round-robin format, with each team playing home and away matches against the others in their group. Points are awarded based on match results, with three points for a win, one point for a draw, and none for a loss.
The top teams from each group automatically qualify for the World Cup, while the best runners-up may enter a playoff round to compete for the remaining spots. This format ensures a competitive and fair process, allowing the best teams to advance based on their performance throughout the qualifying matches.
