The French team now knows the details of its schedule for the group stage of the 2026 World Cup, and the Blues will begin their campaign with an opening shock against Senegal. This first poster, already decisive in a particularly tough group, will be played on Tuesday June 16 at 9 p.m. (French time) at the New York New Jersey Stadium. Didier Deschamps’ men will then continue with their second meeting on Monday June 22 at 11 p.m. (French time), against the winner of the FIFA 2 play-off (Bolivia, Suriname or Iraq), this time at the Philadelphia Stadium, where they will try to approach the final day with maximum serenity.
The Blues will conclude their group stage with a potentially decisive match against Norway, scheduled for Friday June 26 at 9 p.m. (French time) at Boston Stadium. A duel which could seal the ranking of this particularly dense Group I, where every point will count in the race for the round of 16. Between sustained travel and high adversity, France will have to be solid and consistent to validate its ticket to the knockout phase.
