Last Friday 13 December 2024, the draw for the FIFA World Cup 26 was held with Luxembourg being drawn in UEFA Group A against Italy/Germany, Slovakia and Northern Ireland.
Subsequently, the fixtures for the group matches have been confirmed.
As Luxembourg is in a group of four teams (not five), the Red Lions are not involved in qualifying matches in March or June.

- Sunday 7 September 2025 @ 20:45: Luxembourg v Slovakia @ Stade de Luxembourg
- Friday 10 October 2025 @ 20:45: Italy/Germany v Luxembourg
- Monday 13 October @ 20:45: Slovakia - Luxembourg
- Friday 14 November @ 20:45: Luxembourg v Italy/Germany @ Stade de Luxembourg
- Monday 17 November 2025 @ 20:45: Northern Ireland v Luxembourg
The twelve group winners will qualify automatically, with the twelve group runners-up joined by the four highest-ranked Nations League teams who fail to qualify, battling it out in play-offs for the remaining four European places. Play-off matches are scheduled for 26 and 31 March 2026.
As a result of not being in a five-team group, Luxembourg may indeed find itself arranging friendly matches in those international windows (21-15 March and 6-10 June 2025).
