Australia has officially been drawn in Group D for the 2026 FIFA World Cup!
In a somewhat friendly draw, the Socceroos have avoided all major European powerhouses, landing hosts USA out of Pot 1, alongside Paraguay and the winner of the European Play-Off C (Turkey, Slovakia, Kosovo or Romania).
On Sunday morning, FIFA officially revealed the group stage schedule, including local kick-off times and stadiums for the World Cup's openers.
Thankfully, Group D fixtures take place almost exclusively on the Western coast of the United States, with Los Angeles, Seattle and San Francisco Bay hosting all but one Group D contest. Vancouver also host one contest within the groups, while Dallas will host the group winners in the Round of 32.
Compiled below is every Australian fixture across 2026, including potential pathways beyond the group stage.
