The ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) has officially announced the schedule for the 2026 ASEAN Hyundai Cup. Thailand is in Group B along with Malaysia, the Philippines, Myanmar, and Laos.
The Thai national team will play a total of four group stage matches, consisting of two home games and two away games. All matches will be played at 8:00 PM Thailand time.
For their home games, the Thai national team will primarily use Rajamangala National Stadium as they aim to reclaim the ASEAN championship title. A big match against Malaysia is scheduled for August 1st, 2026.
Meanwhile, the away game in the Philippines on August 4, 2026, will be played at the New Clark City Athletics Stadium, which is good news for the Thai players because they will be competing on real grass, not artificial turf as in the past.
The group stage schedule for the Thai national team is as follows:
Match 1: Laos vs. Thailand, July 25, 2026, 8:00 PM, Laos National Stadium.
Match 2: Thailand vs. Malaysia, August 1, 2026, 8:00 PM, Rajamangala National Stadium.
Match 3: Philippines vs. Thailand, August 4, 2026, 8:00 PM, New Clark City Athletics Stadium.
Match 4: Thailand vs. Myanmar, August 8, 2026, 8:00 PM, Rajamangala National Stadium.
The top two teams from each group will advance to the semi-finals, which will be played in a home-and-away format from August 15-19, 2026, before the final takes place on August 22 and 26, 2026.
