The 2026 FIFA World Cup is set to take place across North America, with the United States, Canada, and Mexico serving as co-hosts. The tournament will run from June 11 to July 19, 2026, marking the first time three nations have jointly hosted the event. This edition will also be the first to feature 48 teams, expanded from the previous 32-team format.
The United States will host the majority of matches, including all knockout stage games, across 11 venues. Canada and Mexico will each host 10 matches, with Canada's games in Toronto and Vancouver, and Mexico's in Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterrey. The final is scheduled for July 19 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
This marks the first World Cup in North America since the United States hosted in 1994, and Mexico's third time hosting, following 1970 and 1986. The tournament is expected to draw millions of fans and generate significant economic impact across the region.
