who will play with who at r32

For the 2026 World Cup Round of 32, the exact matchup depends on which group a team finished in and which third-place teams advance, so the pairings are not fully fixed yet. Some confirmed examples from current coverage are Belgium vs a third-place team from Groups A, E, H, I, or J, and Egypt vs Australia.

What this means

• If you mean a specific team, its Round of 32 opponent is determined by the bracket rules and the final group results.
• If you mean the whole Round of 32 slate, several matches are still projections rather than confirmed pairings.
• USA, for example, would face the third-place team from Group B, E, F, I, or J if it wins its group, and there are still multiple possible opponents.

Confirmed examples

• Belgium: one of the third-place qualifiers from Groups A, E, H, I, or J.

• Egypt: Australia.

• USA: one of the third-place teams from Groups B, E, F, I, or J.
