The South American section of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification will act as qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup to be held in Canada, the United States, and Mexico for national teams who are members of CONMEBOL. A total of 6 direct slots in the final tournament and 1 inter-confederation play-off slot are available for CONMEBOL teams. [1] [2]

Contents

CONMEBOL is the first confederation to begin its qualification process for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with Paraguay-Peru being the first match of the global qualification process. [3] [4]

Format

On 22 August 2022, CONMEBOL sent a request to FIFA asking to keep the current qualification format that has been used since the 1998 World Cup qualification in South America. [5] [6] [7] This was confirmed, with the first games of the qualifiers tentatively to be played in March or June 2023. [8] [9] [10]

On 27 February 2023, CONMEBOL president Alejandro Domínguez announced that the qualifiers would start in September 2023, [11] [12] which was ratified by the CONMEBOL Council in the run-up to the 73rd FIFA Congress held on 16 March in Kigali, Rwanda. [13] [14]

The qualification structure remains the same as in previous editions, despite the increase of slots available to CONMEBOL teams, wherein each team plays each other team twice in a home-and-away round-robin format. [15]

Prior to the commencement of the qualification competition, Ecuador were deducted 3 points for the use of a document containing false information for Byron Castillo in the previous World Cup qualification cycle. [16]

Schedule

The qualifying matches are being held in a total of 18 matchdays on dates that fall within the FIFA International Match Calendar. [17] The match schedule is the same that was used in the previous edition of the competition. Six matchdays will be played in 2023, six in 2024 and also six in 2025. [15]
