One of the most important global sports events, the 2026 World Cup’s draw will be held today at 12 P.M. ET at the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington, DC.
The event will be co-hosted by Heidi Klum, Kevin Hart, and Danny Ramirez, and will feature guests such as Tom Brady and Shaquille O’Neal.
President Donald Trump is expected to attend as well. The draw will be broadcast on Fox and Fubo.
The draw will determine group-stage paths for 42 qualified teams plus six playoff contenders, who won’t be known until March 2026.
Hosts Mexico (A1), Canada (B1), and the United States (D1) are pre-assigned group positions. Countries are assigned to four pots based on their FIFA rankings, and balls are drawn live to determine which teams are placed in each group.
For the first time, the top four teams—Spain, Argentina, France, and England—are separated so they cannot meet before the semifinals.
