Group K – FIFA World Cup 2026

Group K contains Portugal, Colombia, Uzbekistan, and one team still listed as TBD. The final place comes from FIFA Play-off Path 1, so the unresolved entrant will be Congo DR, Jamaica, or New Caledonia.

Group K begins on June 17, 2026 with Portugal vs TBD in Houston and Uzbekistan vs Colombia in Mexico City. The group concludes on June 27, 2026 with simultaneous final-day games: Colombia vs Portugal in Miami and TBD vs Uzbekistan in Atlanta.

Portugal start as favorites because they have the highest FIFA ranking in the group, the deepest squad, and the widest range of match-winners. A midfield built around creators such as Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, and Vitinha gives Portugal more ways to control games than any other team in the section.

Yes. Uzbekistan are making their first World Cup appearance, but they are tactically organized and defensively serious enough to challenge for second place or a best-third-place berth. If they avoid defeat against Colombia in the opener, the whole group could tighten quickly.

The top two teams in Group K qualify automatically for the Round of 32. In addition, some of the best third-placed teams across all 12 groups also advance, which means every point, every goal difference swing, and every disciplinary tiebreak can matter.
