Mexico will play its three group-stage matches at domestic venues during the 2026 World Cup, a departure from the team's recent practice of playing some home games in the United States.
As one of the three host nations, Mexico faces South Africa, South Korea and Czech Republic in Group A. All three fixtures will now take place in Mexican stadiums. This follows the December 2025 draw that placed Mexico at the top of the group with the UEFA repechage winner (later confirmed as Czech Republic).
