Understanding the 2026 World Cup Roster Rules
How many players are allowed on the final rosters?
FIFA has locked the roster size at 26 players per team, the same standard used at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Each squad must include at least three goalkeepers.
What is the final deadline for changes?
Federations host media reveals throughout late May, but all 48 countries must submit their final squads to FIFA by Tuesday, June 2, 2026. You can follow every official drop on the official FIFA squad announcements hub.
Can teams replace an injured player before the tournament starts?
Yes. A team may replace a seriously injured or ill player up to 24 hours before their opening group stage match. The replacement does not have to come from the team’s initial provisional pool, but must be cleared by the FIFA Medical Committee.
