2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying draw in full: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland learn their groups

View the full draw for all of the home nations in the European Qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The groups of those involved in the 2024/25 UEFA Nations League quarter-finals will be determined once those fixtures have been played in March. The winners of the quarter-final ties will feature in a four-team group while the loser will be pencilled into a five-team group.

As England and Wales are not participating in the Nations League in March, they have been drawn into a group of five. Scotland and Northern Ireland are set to compete in the promotion/relegation play-offs, so they slot into a group of four.
