The latest FIFA men's world rankings, published on March 31, 2026, see France ascend to the number one position. The reigning world champions, Argentina, have dropped to second place after holding the top spot since April 2023.
France's rise follows a series of strong performances in recent international fixtures. The shift at the summit comes after Argentina's 2-0 friendly defeat to Uruguay in late March 2026, a result that impacted the points calculation.
Belgium remains in third place, while England and Brazil complete the top five. The next official FIFA ranking update is scheduled for May 2026.
