CONMEBOL 2026 World Cup qualifying schedule, results, table: Messi’s Argentina remain on top

[ad_1]

The winter World Cup that was Qatar 2022 means less time to prep for 2026 in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, so don’t be surprised to see CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying back on your screens this fall, less than one year since Argentina beat France to the 2022 crown.

The gauntlet that is CONMEBOL qualifying has eased a bit with the expanded, 48-team field for the 2026 World Cup; Six teams will qualify automatically and a seventh will reach the six team inter-confederation playoff tournament.

That expanded field means Argentina is already well on its way to a World Cup return, but the table is tightening as Brazil continue to recover after a slow start, while Colombia and Marcelo Bielsa’s Uruguay are dangerous but have had hiccups and Bolivia had won three in a row to thicken the plot in the race for the final spots.... right up until Lionel Messi cooled them off, big time.

Below you’ll find the table, schedule, and scores for all CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers, as South America sorts out who will compete to become the 11th winner from its confederation, joining Uruguay (1930, 1950), Brazil (1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, 2002), and Argentina (1978, 1986, 2022) as world champions.
