FIFA 2026 World Cup Friendly Fixtures in Nepal Time

Football fans around the world are gearing up for the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a series of international friendly matches taking place in the months leading up to the tournament. These warm‑up games, held in the March, May and June international windows, are key opportunities for national teams to fine‑tune their strategies, test new players and build momentum ahead of the World Cup, which begins on June 11, 2026.

The March international window saw a number of high‑profile friendlies featuring top teams such as England playing Uruguay at Wembley, a 1‑1 draw that served as a final rehearsal before the major tournament. Meanwhile, Australia edged out Cameroon in one of the other March friendlies.

International friendlies offer teams a chance to solidify their final World Cup squads ahead of the competition proper. Many squads have used these matches to try out tactical variations and evaluate player fitness, building toward the global event.

The FIFA World Cup itself will be hosted across three countries the United States, Canada, and Mexico featuring an expanded format with 48 teams and a total of 104 matches across June and July.
