2026 FIFA World Cup
The 2026 World Cup will take place from June 11 to July 19, 2026. It will be jointly hosted by sixteen cities—eleven in the United States, three in Mexico, and two in Canada.
It is the first World Cup to feature 48 teams (expanded from 32 teams) and the 23rd World Cup overall. It is the first World Cup to be hosted by three countries, the third time Mexico is hosting the World Cup and the second time the United States will host it.
Argentina are the defending champions having beaten France in the final of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. All three host nations automatically qualified for the tournament, while most of the participants have already been confirmed through the World Cup qualifiers. One final round of qualifiers will take place in March 2026.
We have extensive guides available for all sixteen host cities, including information on purchasing tickets, acquiring visas and the schedules for all 104 games to be played.
