Group B of the World Cup wraps up its group stage today with two simultaneous matches: Switzerland vs. Canada and Bosnia and Herzegovina vs. Qatar. Canada and Switzerland will likely advance to the Round of 32, with strong goal differential and the fact that the top-eight third-place teams will all qualify, but first place is still up for grabs. For Bosnia and Herzegovina and Qatar, the final whistle today could end their tournament.
Here is what every team in Group B needs heading into the final matchday. For a full breakdown of every group at the 2026 World Cup, see the complete group scenarios guide at FOX Sports.
Current Group B Standings

- Canada will advance with a loss AND a Bosnia and Herzegovina loss/draw.
- Switzerland will advance and win the group with a win.
- Switzerland will advance with a draw.
- Switzerland will advance with a loss AND a Qatar loss/draw.
- Qatar will advance with a win AND a Switzerland loss, AND wins the tiebreaker.
- Qatar will finish third with a win/draw.
Canada
Canada will win Group B and advance to the Round of 32 with a win or draw against Switzerland. A loss still sees Canada advance in second place unless Bosnia and Herzegovina wins their match against Qatar and makes up a nine-goal swing in goal difference (an essentially impossible scenario given Canada’s +6 and Bosnia’s -3).
Switzerland
Switzerland will win Group B with a win against Canada. A draw also guarantees advancement, but as runner-up, Canada holds the goal difference edge (+6 vs. +3) and would win the group in that scenario. Switzerland, like Canada, is likely to advance.
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bosnia and Herzegovina keep alive their chances of advancing as one of the eight best third-place teams in the tournament with either a win or a draw against Qatar. A win gives Bosnia a solid third-place standing, though it’ll come down to how their record compares to other third-place finishers across all 12 groups. A loss eliminates them from contention.
Qatar
Qatar’s only path to advancing is a win over Bosnia and Herzegovina, which would put them at four points. Four points would make Qatar a strong candidate for one of the eight third-place advancement spots. A draw or loss eliminates them from contention.
