The draw for the 2026 FIFA World Cup will take place in Washington on Friday from 6:00 pm, Nigerian time.

There will be 42 countries in the draw, with the remaining six places for play-off winners also allocated.

Countries like Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and Wales still have work to do to qualify, with their play-off games in March.

But they will find out who their potential opponents will be on Friday, and they will be in Pot 4.

United States President Donald Trump will be with FIFA boss Gianni Infantino in Washington for the draw.

Also, there will be some famous faces brought in to help with the World Cup draw, including Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand, NFL legend Tom Brady, Canadian former ice hockey player Wayne Gretzky, former American basketball player Shaquille O’Neal, and American professional baseball outfielder for the New York Yankees Aaron Judge.

There will also be performances from the likes of Andrea Bocelli, Robbie Williams, Nicole Scherzinger and Village People.

The 2026 World Cup tournament will be played across Canada, Mexico and the USA.

Mexico City will host the opening game of the competition, and that match will feature Mexico.

The final will be at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, USA.

Argentina are the current holders of the World Cup after winning the last edition in Qatar.
