Colombia's 2026 World Cup schedule
Colombia is in Group K alongside Portugal, DR Congo, and Uzbekistan — a competitive draw with a marquee group finale:
| Match | Date | Venue | Channel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Colombia vs. Uzbekistan | June 17 | Estadio Azteca, Mexico City | Telemundo |
| Colombia vs. DR Congo | June 23 | Estadio Akron, Guadalajara | Telemundo |
| Colombia vs. Portugal | June 27 | Hard Rock Stadium, Miami | Telemundo |
Colombia vs. Portugal is one of the most anticipated group-stage matches of the entire tournament — James Rodríguez vs. Cristiano Ronaldo, almost certainly with the group on the line, staged in front of Miami's massive Colombian diaspora.
The Colombia roster: Players to watch
Manager Néstor Lorenzo — a former assistant on Colombia's 2014 and 2018 World Cup staffs who took the head job in 2022 — guided Los Cafeteros on a 28-match unbeaten run before the 2024 Copa América final. James Rodríguez is the captain and talisman, the 2014 World Cup Golden Boot winner chasing one last act of the magic that defined his career. Luis Díaz (Bayern Munich) is the team's most dynamic attacker, fresh off a move to Munich and 7 goals in CONMEBOL qualifying. Richard Ríos (Benfica) is the rising central midfielder who broke out at the 2024 Copa América. Jhon Arias (Wolves) is the versatile creative engine on the wing. Daniel Muñoz (Crystal Palace) is the attacking right back who pushes Colombia's tempo from the flanks. Jefferson Lerma (Crystal Palace) provides the defensive midfield bite. Davinson Sánchez (Galatasaray) anchors the back line, with Camilo Vargas (Atlas) between the posts.
The Colombia storyline: A golden generation, one last push
Colombia missed the 2022 World Cup, and the wait has only sharpened the urgency around this group. The 2024 Copa América final loss to Argentina — 1-0 in extra time, capping a 28-match unbeaten run — was both a coming-of-age moment and a reminder that this generation has the level to compete with the very best. Qualifying confirmed it: wins over both Argentina and Brazil along the way. The 2014 quarterfinal in Brazil remains Colombia's best-ever World Cup finish, but with Díaz peaking, Ríos emerging, and James orchestrating in what is almost certainly his final World Cup, the ceiling has never been higher. Group K is winnable, the path through the Round of 32 is realistic, and a deep run is no longer a fantasy for Los Cafeteros.
