Norway's World Cup 2026 outlook

Norway arrives at the 48-team World Cup 2026 with dark-horse credentials and the talent to surprise the established powers in knockout football.

Drawn into Group I, their group-stage matches will be against France (#3), Senegal (#20), Iraq (#58). The expanded 48-team format means the top two from each group, plus the eight best third-placed teams, will advance to a new Round of 32, so even teams that stumble in the opening matches still have a path to the knockouts.

Use the predictor above to lock in your Norway prediction. Order the four teams in Group I, then trace Norway's path through the bracket. Your prediction is encoded in a shareable URL, so you can send it to friends and family who back Norway and see whose call ages best.
