Group H brings together Spain, Cape Verde, Saudi Arabia and Uruguay in the 2026 World Cup group stage, with matches split across host cities in USA and beyond.
On paper, Spain and Uruguay head into the group as the strongest sides by FIFA ranking, but the expanded 48-team format means even a third-place finish can be enough to advance — the eight best third-placed teams across all twelve groups also progress to the round of 32. That changes the calculus for every side in Group H: a single point picked up against the group's strongest team can matter as much as a win against its weakest.
Below is the group's live table, updated as results come in, along with each team's profile and scheduled fixtures. Live scores, kick-off times and match details for every Group H fixture are tracked on the main World Cup tracker.
