The 2026 World Cup enters its second day of competition this Friday, June 12, with two matches on the schedule, both from the first round of the group stage.

The highlight is the debut of the United States, one of the three host nations, against Paraguay in Inglewood. It is the first test for the home team, which must secure points right from the start and launch its bid for a spot in the knockout stage in Group D, which also features Australia and Turkey.

Before that, the other host nation in the tournament takes the field: Canada hosts Bosnia-Herzegovina at BMO Field in Toronto to open Group B, which also includes Qatar and Switzerland. For both teams, it’s a matter of getting off on the right foot in a group stage with no room for error.

Essentially, these are two opening matches, with everything still to be decided and the tournament’s first points on the line.
