The 2026 FIFA World Cup will mark a historic milestone as the first tournament to be jointly hosted by three nations: the United States, Canada, and Mexico. This expanded format will feature 48 teams competing across 16 host cities, representing a significant increase from the traditional 32-team structure. The tournament will utilize a new group stage format with 16 groups of three teams each, followed by a knockout phase. The United States will host the majority of matches, including the final, while Canada and Mexico will each host a portion of the group stage and early knockout rounds. This tri-nation approach promises to deliver the largest and most geographically diverse World Cup in history.
