Colombia at World Cup 2026 — Group K & Route
Colombia’s group stage 2026 draw is one of the kinder ones from the CONMEBOL side. Group K pairs them with Uzbekistan (a first-ever World Cup appearance), DR Congo (back at the tournament for the first time in 52 years) and Portugal. Colombia’s World Cup 2026 fixtures run across Mexico, Guadalajara and Miami, with the Portugal match in South Florida where a pro-Colombia crowd is expected. In WC2026’s 48-team format, the top two from each group advance to the Round of 32; third place can still progress as one of the eight best third-placed sides.
