Countries know their opponents and match dates, but we must wait to find out venues and kick-off times.
The exceptions are groups A (Mexico), B (Canada) and D (USA), which contain the three host nations and already have venues for the fixtures, but not kick-off times.
For all other groups, FIFA will unveil the match schedule in a live broadcast on Saturday at 17:00 GMT.
