The 2026 Sweden World Cup squad might not be expected to match some of their previous third-place finishes in prior iterations of the tournament, but with a roster featuring players on top-tier club teams in the highest ranks of domestic football, there are high hopes for the Swedish side in this iteration of the competition.

In Group F with the Netherlands, Japan, and Tunisia, they have a strong chance of advancing into the knockout stages. So, ahead of their 2026 World Cup opener against Tunisia, here is a look at the Sweden squad and the club teams its 26 players represent.

Those are the club teams for the 2026 Sweden World Cup squad.

Of those, a majority play for club teams in the Premier League (8), while four play for clubs in Germany and Sweden, two in Italy, Belgium, and the EFL Championship in England each, and the rest are spread out across the other domestic club leagues represented.

The 2026 Sweden World Cup squad is unique in that none of their players play on club teams together, which isn’t the case for many countries competing in the tournament.

Sweden Schedule And Other Info

Now that you know where the members of the Swedish team play when they aren’t representing their country in national team tournaments, here’s a look at the Sweden World Cup schedule.

June 14: Sweden vs. Tunisia — Monterrey Stadium (10 p.m. ET)

June 20: Sweden vs. Netherlands — Houston, Texas (1 p.m. ET)

June 25: Sweden vs. Japan — Dallas Stadium (7 p.m. ET)

As mentioned, Sweden is in Group F with all of the teams seen above.

Their highest finish in the World Cup is third, as they’ve accomplished that feat on two occasions, first in 1950, and again in 1994. They came in fourth in 1938 and have finished in the quarterfinals on three other occasions. Sweden did not qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

When speaking about the Swedish national team, it is impossible not to mention Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is the country’s all-time leading scorer with 62 goals in 122 total appearances. They won’t have a player of his caliber on the 2026 World Cup squad, but keep an eye out for Victor Gyokeres and Alexander Isak to score goals in the tournament this year.
