It is the first tournament with 48 teams\, grouped into 12 pools of four. The top two from each group and the eight best third-placed teams advance to a new round of 32 followed by the round of 16\, quarter-finals\, semi-finals and final. \nWhen is Australia vs Paraguay?\nThe match kicks off on Thursday 25 June 2026 at 10:00pm ET (3:00am BST Friday). The other final Group D fixture\, United States vs Türkiye\, is played at the same time at SoFi Stadium. \nWhere is Australia vs Paraguay?\nLevi’s Stadium in Santa Clara\, California is the venue.

Coached by Tony Popovic\, the Socceroos lean on Celtic striker Mitchell Duke\, Manchester City defender Cameron Burgess and captain Aaron Mooy.
