Everything on Group D of the FIFA World Cup 2026: live standings table, all six fixtures with ET kickoff times, results, the key match, head-to-head history, World Cup pedigree and who qualifies for the Round of 32. Teams: United States, Paraguay, Australia, Turkey.
United States4 - 1Paraguay
A group with no clear favourite where the co-host meets a heavyweight rival. The United States wants to use home advantage and Paraguay brings the South American grit of a former quarterfinalist.
Group D has no clear front-runner, which makes it especially competitive. The United States, co-host, has the advantage of playing at home and the ambition to better its 2002 quarterfinal. But it faces three battle-hardened sides that can make every match difficult.
Paraguay brings South American grit (a 2010 quarterfinalist), Australia its order and consistency (round of 16 in 2006 and 2022) and Turkey the technical quality of a generation that remembers its third place in 2002. A group of physical, disciplined teams where the details will decide qualification.
Group D spreads its pedigree with no single dominant side: Turkey finished third in 2002, Australia reached the round of 16 in 2006 and 2022, Paraguay made the quarterfinals in 2010 and the United States, co-host, reached the last eight in 2002.
The top two teams in Group D advance directly to the Round of 32. The third-placed team can still qualify among the eight best third-placed teams across all 12 groups. When teams are level on points, the 2026 World Cup applies the official FIFA tie-break (head-to-head first, then overall goal difference and goals scored).
Group D is made up of United States, Paraguay, Australia, Turkey.
United States leads Group D with 6 points after 3 matches.
The top two of Group D advance to the Round of 32. The third-placed team can qualify if it finishes among the eight best third-placed teams across the 12 groups.
There is no clear favourite. The United States has home advantage, but Turkey (third in 2002), Australia (round of 16 in 2006 and 2022) and Paraguay (quarterfinals in 2010) are all battle-hardened. It is one of the most balanced groups in the tournament.
Turkey's best result was third place at the 2002 World Cup, when it lost in the semifinals to eventual champions Brazil and then beat South Korea in the third-place match.
