Argentina has won the FIFA World Cup three times: in 1978 (hosted in Argentina), 1986 (Mexico), and most recently in 2022 (Qatar) — captained by Lionel Messi. The 2022 triumph ended a 36-year wait and cemented Messi's legacy as the greatest player of all time.
As defending champions entering 2026 with the #1 FIFA ranking, Argentina World Cup 2026 expectations are sky-high. They aim to become only the third nation ever to win back-to-back World Cups after Italy (1934, 1938) and Brazil (1958, 1962).
Argentina is in Group J with Algeria, Austria, and Jordan at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Argentina's World Cup 2026 fixtures start June 16 vs Algeria, then June 22 vs Austria, and June 26 for Matchday 3.
