Qatar

Qatar compete in Group B of the FIFA World Cup 2026, playing matches in San Francisco Bay Area, Vancouver, and Seattle. After hosting and exiting at the group stage in 2022 as the first host nation to fail to advance, Qatar qualified through the AFC pathway and have invested heavily in player development through the Aspire Academy system.

Group B Match Schedule

• June 13: vs Switzerland, Levi’s Stadium San Francisco. 12:00 PT (23:00, Doha)
• June 18: vs Canada, BC Place Vancouver. 15:00 PT (01:00 June 19, Doha)
• June 24: vs Bosnia and Herzegovina, Lumen Field Seattle. 12:00 PT (23:00, Doha)

Viewing from Qatar

The San Francisco and Seattle matches land at 23:00 in Doha, late but manageable. The Canada match in Vancouver pushes past midnight. For Qatari fans in London, the schedule is friendlier: a 12:00 Pacific kickoff is 20:00 British Summer Time. The large South Asian expat population in Qatar, who are also football followers, shares these scheduling challenges across the group stage.
