As excitement continues to build towards the WMH World Cup 2026 in the Netherlands and Belgium, we would like to provide an important update regarding tournament schedules.
To ensure the most accurate and reliable competition schedules, the match schedules for each tournament will be published three (3) weeks before the start of the respective tournament.
With teams, officials, venues, and operational requirements continuing to be finalized, publishing schedules earlier could result in changes to match timings, rest days, byes, and other competition details.
By releasing schedules closer to the event, WMH can provide participants with the most accurate information possible and reduce the likelihood of subsequent amendments.
See the event pages (below) for further details
