The 2022 Qatar Winter World Cup means less time to prepare for 2026 in the United States, Mexico and Canada, so don’t be surprised to see CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying again on your screens this fall, less than a year away after. Argentina beat France for the 2022 crown.
The challenge of CONMEBOL qualification has been eased somewhat with the expanded field of 48 teams for the 2026 World Cup; Six teams will automatically qualify and a seventh will reach the six-team interconfederation playoff tournament.

That expanded field means Argentina is already on course to return to the World Cup, but the table is tightening as Brazil continues to recover after a slow start, Colombia remains difficult to beat, Marcelo Bielsa’s Uruguay are improving and Bolivia has won a couple of games. September matches to thicken the plot in the race for the final places.
Below you will find the table, schedule and results of all CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers, as South America decides who will compete to become the 11th winner of their confederation, joining Uruguay (1930, 1950), Brazil (1958 , 1962, 1970, 1994, 2002) and Argentina (1978, 1986, 2022) as world champions.
