World Cup Group H includes Spain, Cape Verde, Saudi Arabia and Uruguay; matches to take place in Zapopan, Mexico and USA cities Atalanta, Miami and Houston

Group H looks like the classic case of the haves and the have-nots. On one side of the group, you have perennial contenders Spain and dark horse Uruguay. On the other side, you have Cape Verde making their first-ever World Cup appearance,

It’s a group that contains a pre-tournament favourite, a World Cup debutant and contrasting styles, as the aggression and the intensity of Marcelo Bielsa’s Uruguay go head-to-head with the all-controlling possession of Spain.

The full schedule with dates, times and stadiums have been confirmed for all 104 games at the 2026 World Cup.

2026 marks a first appearance at a World Cup for Cape Verde, with manager – and former player – Bubista leading his nation to the world’s biggest tournament with a qualifying campaign that produced seven wins from 10 games against the likes of Cameroon and Angola.

This 48-team extravaganza is the biggest World Cup there has ever been, and it might just be the most complex too. Twelve groups of four teams might be enough to follow in the first place, but those fans of brackets who have a familiarity of past tournaments might have a sense of what the issue is here.

The 2026 World Cup group stage is the biggest ever and here you can keep track on the latest standings and how the tables look in all 12 groups.
