The 48 qualified teams are drawn into 12 groups of four (Groups A–L). Each team plays the other three in its group once. The top two from every group, plus the eight best third-placed teams, advance to a brand-new Round of 32. From there it is straight knockout football: Round of 32 → Round of 16 → Quarter-finals → Semi-finals → Final, with a third-place play-off the day before the final. In total a team that reaches the final will play eight matches — one more than in previous 32-team World Cups.
The United States, Canada and Mexico all qualify automatically as hosts. Mexico plays the tournament's opening match at Estadio Azteca, while the USA and Canada open their campaigns in the opening days. This is Mexico's third time hosting (after 1970 and 1986), Canada's first time hosting the men's World Cup, and the USA's first since 1994. Major contenders to watch include defending champions Argentina, plus France, Brazil, England, Spain, Germany, Portugal and the Netherlands.
