Mexico will be making their 18th appearance at the FIFA World Cup in the 2026 edition hosted across the United States, Canada and Mexico. As one of the co-host nations, Mexico automatically qualified for the tournament and will look to capitalize on home support, having twice reached the quarter-finals in 1970 and 1986.
Drawn into Group A alongside South Africa, South Korea, and Czechia, Mexico will kick off the tournament in the opening match scheduled for 11 June 2026. With the advantage of familiar conditions and passionate home crowds, they will aim to start strong and set the tone for their campaign.
With a squad known for its energy, technical quality, and attacking flair, Mexico arrive with high expectations and ambition. As the tournament unfolds across North America, El Tri will be determined to go beyond their historical achievements and make a deep run on football’s biggest stage.
