The 2026 World Cup has had 104 games scheduled in total, and FIFA’s official match schedule page says it includes fixtures and results from each of the 104 games. Based on the latest coverage, the tournament is already into the knockout phase, so a substantial share of those games have been played by now.

Quick Scoop

  • Total tournament games: 104.
  • Status right now: Knockout rounds have begun, which means the group stage is over.
  • Best direct count from the latest sources: the exact number of games played so far is not stated in the sources I found, but it is definitely fewer than 104 and more than the completed group-stage total plus opening knockout matches.

What this means

The cleanest answer is that the tournament is built around 104 matches overall. Since reports on June 28–29 say the first Round of 32 has started, the event has moved beyond the group stage and into knockouts. That makes it clear many games have already been played, but the available sources here don’t give a single live tally of completed matches.

TL;DR

World Cup 2026 has 104 total games, and it is now in the knockout stage, so many have already been played.
