The top team from each group qualifies directly, while four of the best second-placed teams enter a playoff for a final spot.

    North & Central America and Caribbean (CONCACAF)

    With the three host nations qualified, three direct spots and two playoff spots remain. Honduras, Costa Rica, Trinidad & Tobago, Jamaica, and Panama are making strong pushes in the second round of qualifying.

    Argentina is already through. Ecuador, Brazil, and Paraguay are in strong positions to qualify, while Colombia and Uruguay remain in contention. The region sends six teams directly, with one more entering an intercontinental playoff.

    Oceania (OFC)

    New Zealand qualified directly. New Caledonia will represent Oceania in the six-team intercontinental playoff.

    Europe (UEFA)

    No European teams have officially qualified yet, with group stages still underway. Powerhouses like France, Germany, Spain, and Portugal begin their qualifying campaigns later due to participation in the Nations League finals.
