2026 FIFA World Cup

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is the upcoming 23rd edition of the premier international men's soccer tournament. Scheduled to run from June 11 to July 19, 2026, it will be uniquely co-hosted by 16 cities across Canada, Mexico, and the United States. This marks the first time the event will be staged in three nations, with the United States serving as the primary host for the majority of matches.

This tournament is notable for its expanded format and historic multinational hosting model. The collaboration across three countries in North America is expected to be one of the largest and most logistically complex sporting events ever organized, aiming to make the game more accessible across a major continent.

Recently, the event has been prominent in news coverage due to the ongoing qualification process. Numerous sports outlets are providing regular updates as national teams from confederations like UEFA and CONCACAF secure their spots in the final tournament or face elimination. Recent headlines have highlighted both the thrilling matches that have sent teams like Scotland to the World Cup and the draws that have ended the hopes of others, such as Costa Rica and Honduras. The approaching tournament draw is also a significant point of discussion, focusing on the new format and the growing list of qualified teams.
