Get ready for today's 2026 World Cup Draw: how to watch, how it works, and what the pots mean for team placement.
The final draw for the 2026 World Cup is set for Friday, Dec. 5 at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C.
But the draw is upon us, or on the way in a matter of hours: 9am Pacific Time, 12pm Eastern Time, 5pm for those of us in the UK. Seven and a half years have passed since the United States, Canada and Mexico were selected as joint hosts for 2026, and now we hit the most crucial moment ahead of kick-off itself on June 11.
