The 2026 World Cup moves into its second day on Saturday, 13 June — which, for those tuning in here, means early on Saturday morning, AEST — with the opening fixtures of Group B and Group D. For Socceroos supporters, the standout is obvious: co-hosts the United States face Paraguay at SoFi Stadium, and both sides share Group D with Australia and Türkiye. It’s an early look at two teams the Socceroos must navigate, with the Americans meeting Australia in Seattle later in the group stage and Paraguay waiting after that.
Earlier in the day, the other co-hosts get going. Canada open Group B against Bosnia and Herzegovina at BMO Field in Toronto, with Jesse Marsch’s side keen to make home advantage count. As Matchday 1 fixtures, none of these carry any baggage yet — no points on the board, no results to chase. They’re about first impressions, and for Australian viewers, useful early intelligence on the teams standing between the Socceroos and the knockout rounds.
