Find out about Iraq’s 2026 World Cup fixtures and squad, broadcast channels and opponents for the Mesopotamian Lions in the tournament in the United States of America, Canada and Mexico.
The global soccer compass is turning to North America for the upcoming 2026 World Cup, which will witness for the first time an exclusive event with 48 teams co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.
After a 40-year absence, the Iraqi national team renews its covenant with the world forum as it deservedly booked its place in the world play-offs at the BBVA Stadium with an epic 2-1 victory over Bolivia, thus heralding the Mesopotamia Lions’ strong return to the senior stage.
The Iraqis’ ambitions in this edition are not limited to just participation, they are looking to put in a performance that will surpass their only previous appearance at the 1986 World Cup. The current generation strives to get out of the group stage and write a new, bright chapter in the history of Iraqi football, rather than being satisfied with an honorable representation.
After the 2026 World Cup draw in December 2025, we will know about the 2026 World Cup Iraq Team Group, Mesopotamia Lions match schedule and broadcast channels.
