The 2026 World Cup has featured multiple VAR decisions that were contested by teams or later overturned by committees.

• Egypt's second goal against Argentina was disallowed by VAR after a review of a foul in the buildup, prompting the Egyptian FA to file a formal complaint to FIFA.
• Brazil's Vinícius Júnior had a goal disallowed by VAR after a review for a foul in the buildup.
• Croatia's last-minute equalizer against Portugal was disallowed by VAR for offside after a deflection off a Portuguese defender, which officials ruled was not intentional.
• USA forward Folarin Balogun was sent off after a VAR-reviewed tackle, but the suspension was later lifted by the relevant committees.
