Mexico's squad list for the 2026 World Cup.

Luck has been on Mexico's side in both World Cups they have hosted. As they co-host the FIFA World Cup 2026, the El Tri team hopes this third attempt will bring them unprecedented success.

After being eliminated in the quarter-finals twice in the World Cups held on home soil in 1970 and 1986, Mexico enters this year's global football tournament hoping to replicate the success they achieved at the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2025.

Placed in Group A, Mexico will begin the tournament with a match against South Africa – a repeat of the opening match of the 2010 World Cup – before facing South Korea and Czechia in succession.

Here is the official list of 55 players selected by coach Javier Aguirre.

The list of 55 Mexican players preparing for the 2026 World Cup has been announced. Mexico had previously announced some players who would participate in the World Cup, but those lists were not as official as this 55-man squad.
