The 2026 FIFA World Cup promises to be the most ambitious tournament in football history. Hosted jointly by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, this expanded 48-team competition will feature 104 matches across 16 cities. The tournament marks several historic firsts: the largest World Cup ever, the first to be hosted by three nations, and the return to North America after 32 years. Key venues include MetLife Stadium, Rose Bowl, and Azteca Stadium, with the final likely held at MetLife Stadium in New York/New Jersey. The expanded format includes 12 groups of four teams each, with the top two teams plus eight best third-place finishers advancing to a 32-team knockout stage.
