Group stage · World Cup 2026
Everything on Group H 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: Spain, Cape Verde, Saudi Arabia, Uruguay.
A group of death candidate: two world champions go head to head. Spain and Uruguay play for top spot and their World Cup history has no winner at all.
Group H is a candidate for "group of death". It features two world champions: Spain, the 2010 winner and one of the big favourites for 2026, and Uruguay, a two-time champion (1930 and 1950) that is always competitive. Their head-to-head could decide top spot.
And watch the outsiders: Saudi Arabia already pulled off one of the biggest shocks in history by beating Argentina in 2022, and Cape Verde produced one of the most astonishing qualifications of the tournament. A demanding group where even the favourites cannot relax.
Spain (2010 champions) and Uruguay (two-time winners, 1930 and 1950) have met twice at World Cups and both ended level: 2-2 in the final pool at Brazil 1950 and 0-0 in the group stage at Italy 1990.
Watch the outsiders: Saudi Arabia produced one of the biggest shocks in history by beating the eventual champions Argentina 2-1 at Qatar 2022, and Cape Verde delivered one of the tournament's most astonishing qualifications.
The top two teams in Group H 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 H is made up of Spain, Cape Verde, Saudi Arabia, Uruguay.
Spain leads Group H with 7 points after 3 matches.
The top two of Group H 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.
Because it brings together two world champions, Spain (2010) and Uruguay (1930 and 1950), plus a Saudi Arabia capable of beating Argentina in 2022 and Cape Verde as the surprise package. Even the favourites cannot relax.
Twice, and neither had a winner: 2-2 in the final pool at Brazil 1950 and 0-0 in the group stage at Italy 1990. Their 2026 meeting could decide top spot in Group H.
