When will FIFA World Cup Squads be Announced?

There is no definitive date on when nations will announce their final squad for the World Cup 2026. The deadline for the same is at the end of May 2026, so expect all the players to be known by then.

Teams have always taken their sweet time to reveal the squad. In 2022, most nations revealed their squad just a few weeks before the deadline, some even later.

We will be well into the Team of the Season promo in FC 26. Judging by the stats, it is unlikely players will be relevant by then.

So far, no team has announced its World Cup squad. There are still several months left for the competition, and a few months left for the final date for announcing the final list of players.

It's not hard to predict whether or not the player will get a World Cup call. All top players should be part of the final squad, barring a few who are or may unexpectedly get injured and be ruled out of the competition.

There is little point in stressing over low-rated players, as most of them won't be remarkable even with upgrades. Yes, Evolutions exist, but you're going to use low overall cards of popular meta players anyway.

That's everything you need to know about the FoF: Answer the Call upgrades.
