The group stage is the first step toward World Cup glory.
All 48 nations playing in the 2026 FIFA World Cup have been divided into 12 groups (labeled A-L) of four teams.
With the expanded knockout format of 32 teams advancing past the group stage, winning the group has become more important than ever.
After the completion of Matchday 2, Mexico, the United States, Germany, and Argentina are the only four nations that have officially clinched first place in their groups.
While many groups remain wide open, Group I will be determined by the heavyweight showdown between France and Norway on Friday.
If France wins or draws, it clinches Group I.
If Norway wins, it tops the group.
Then on Saturday, Group K takes center stage as Portugal and Colombia meet in Miami in what could be the best match of the entire group stage.
Colombia sits atop the group with six points, while Portugal has four, setting up a showdown that will decide first place.
A Colombia win or draw would secure the group, while a Portugal victory would see it leapfrog Colombia and finish atop Group K.
Let's check out the latest odds for all 12 groups at FanDuel Sportsbook, as of June 24.
