Group B in the 2026 World Cup is preparing for heavyweight clashes, bringing together four teams from four different continents with big ambitions and an exciting mix of experience and ambition. From North America to Europe and Asia, each team has a different story in their journey to the World Cup.

Group B Teams

  • Canada 🇨🇦 — After their debut in 2022, Canada returns to the World Cup with greater experience and a golden generation led by stars like Alphonso Davies and Jonathan David. The Canadian team has become an emerging force in CONCACAF and aims to surpass the group stage for the first time in its history.
  • Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦 — Bosnia’s return to the World Cup after missing out since 2014. Led by veteran Edin Džeko and top stars in European leagues, the Bosnian team boasts high attacking quality and a direct, physical style of play.
  • Qatar 🇶🇦 — Qatar’s first appearance since hosting the 2022 World Cup. With continued development of Qatari football, the Maroon team enters this tournament with ambitions of pulling off a surprise, backed by the international experience gained from hosting the past World Cup.
  • Switzerland 🇨🇭 — One of Europe’s most consistent teams in the last decade, reaching the Round of 16 in four out of the last five major tournaments. They rely on a solid defensive structure and quick transitions.

Group Predictions

Switzerland appears to be the favorite to top the group thanks to their consistency and experience in major tournaments. However, Canada has individual elements capable of making a difference, while Bosnia and Qatar represent an open wildcard for surprises. It’s hard to predict the two qualifying spots, as direct clashes between these teams will be crucial, especially the Canada vs. Bosnia match, which could determine the second qualifier.

Broadcast Channels

Matches in Group B will be broadcast on beIN Sports (which holds broadcasting rights in the Middle East and North Africa) as well as SSC (Saudi Sports Channel), which will exclusively air the matches within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in high quality with comprehensive coverage and technical analysis before and after the matches.
