Yo, check this out!
We’re already halfway there. The qualified team count for the 2026 World Cup is already at 25 teams! That’s crazy when you think about how far away the tournament still feels.
It’s all thanks to the new 48-team format. More teams mean the qualifying games are wrapping up super fast in some parts of the world.
Who’s already in?
- The Hosts:USA, Mexico, and Canada. Automatic spots, no surprise there.
- Europe (UEFA):OnlyEnglandhas officially qualified so far. Seriously, just England! The rest of the big European teams are still fighting it out.
- South America (CONMEBOL):They’re basically done! Argentina, Brazil, and a bunch of others are already through.
- Asia (AFC) and Africa (CAF):Lots of teams from these groups have locked in their spots early, which is awesome to see.
It’s a weird feeling. On one hand, it’s cool to see so many different flags already confirmed. On the other hand, it makes the European qualifiers feel a bit less intense, since so many spots are open now.
I mean, will we even have a proper “Group of Death” when half the teams are already known this early? It takes some of the drama out of the whole thing.
What do you guys think? Does knowing so many teams are qualified this early make the World Cup feel less special, or are you just happy to see more countries get a chance?
