2026 World Cup: The Full 48-Team Squad Rundown as Nations Confirm Their Travelling Parties

The 2026 World Cup is upon us—rather horrifyingly, if we're being honest—and the competing nations are now locking in their travelling parties for North America this summer.

All 48 qualifiers had to submit provisional squads to FIFA by May 11, containing up to 55 names with a minimum of four goalkeepers. However, nations weren't obliged to make these lists public. Those that have done so appear below and are clearly flagged as provisional.

Only players named in these provisional lists can feature in the final squad, which must contain between 23 and 26 players, three of whom must be goalkeepers.

Countries have until FIFA's June 2 deadline to announce their final 26-man selections—some have already done so. All squads become formal and final only when FIFA confirms all 48 on June 2.

After that point, nations can make replacements up to 24 hours before their opening match, but only for illness or injury, with FIFA approval, and only using a player from the previously submitted provisional squad. Goalkeepers receive special dispensation: if FIFA approves, an ill or injured custodian can be replaced by another goalkeeper from the provisional list at any point during the tournament.
