Each group will be played in a single round-robin format from October 8 to 14, 2025, with Qatar hosting Group A and Saudi Arabia hosting Group B. The winners of each group will secure direct qualification to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, while the runners-up will move on to the fifth round playoff in November for one last shot at qualification.

With just two spots up for grabs and no room for error, the fourth round promises to deliver drama, intensity, and unforgettable moments on the road to 2026.
