FAQ

Where does Canada need to finish to advance?

Finishing 1st or 2nd in the group means automatic qualification for the Round of 32. Even in 3rd place, Canada can still advance if it ranks among the 8 best third-placed teams across all 12 groups.

Did the tiebreaker rules change for 2026?

Yes. From 2026, when teams are level on points, head-to-head results are applied before overall goal difference — the first such change in 56 years. All standings and scenarios here reflect this.
