This competition will take place from 11 June to 19 July 2026, and it will be hosted by three countries: the United States, Canada, and Mexico. For the first time ever, the tournament will include 48 national teams instead of 32, making it more global and competitive than previous editions. A total of 104 matches will be played across 16 different stadiums.

The format will feature a group stage followed by a knockout phase, allowing more nations from different continents to participate. The opening match is expected to be played in Mexico, while the final will take place in the United States at MetLife Stadium in New York/New Jersey. This edition is also special because it will showcase modern stadiums, advanced technology, and increased global viewership.

With more teams, more matches, and three host countries, the 2026 World Cup is expected to be one of the most exciting sporting events in history.
