Everything on Group K 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: Portugal, Colombia, Uzbekistan, DR Congo.
Two favourites that had never faced each other. Portugal, the European champions, and Colombia, back among the elite, headline a first-ever meeting that could decide top spot.
Group K is one of the toughest. Portugal, the 2016 European champion and one of the most talented sides on the continent, and Colombia, back among the elite with a competitive generation, start as the favourites. Their head-to-head could decide top spot and promises to be one of the games of the group.
The other side is provided by two hungry teams: Uzbekistan, playing its first ever World Cup, and DR Congo, which earned its place through the intercontinental playoff. For Colombia, not slipping against these rivals will be key in a group where Portugal sets the pace.
Portugal and Colombia had never met: their 2026 World Cup game is the first ever meeting between the two teams, in either competition or friendlies.
Portugal were European champions in 2016 and Colombia reached the quarterfinals at Brazil 2014, its best World Cup. Uzbekistan is playing in its first ever World Cup and DR Congo earned its place through the intercontinental playoff.
The top two teams in Group K 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).
