Germany and Curaçao meet in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Group E opener on June 14, 2026 at Houston Stadium on FOX.
This Group E matchup marks a historic milestone as Curaçao gets its first ever World Cup title. In doing so, it becomes the smallest nation by population to ever qualify.
Curaçao qualified for the 2026 World Cup by topping Group C in the second round of CONCACAF qualification and then finishing first again in Group B in the third round. In both stages, they went unbeaten in 10 matches, recording seven wins and three draws.
After losing 4-1 to Scotland in a friendly on May 30, Curaçao responded in a big way and enter the tournament on the back of a 4-0 win against Aruba.
Germany, meanwhile, enter the tournament as a traditional powerhouse, making their 19th consecutive World Cup appearance.
After group stage exits in 2018 and 2022, the team is aiming for a deeper run with a refreshed roster that rolled through UEFA qualification. Germany secured their place by winning Group A and took first place with a dominant 6-0 win over Slovakia to avoid the play-offs.
Germany roll into the World Cup on a nine-match winning streak in international matches, including its 2-1 victory over the United States last week.
This is the first ever meeting between these two national teams in any competition.
