The 2026 World Cup arrives this Thursday, June 11, and opening day is compact: two matches, both in Group A’s first matchday of the group stage, played entirely on Mexican soil.
The headline act is the opener, Mexico vs. South Africa at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City — a ceremonial start as Mexico becomes the first nation to host World Cup matches across three editions. With no results yet, El Tri simply seeks early momentum. Later, South Korea faces Czechia at the Estadio Akron in Guadalajara, a first read on Group A’s balance of power.
