The 2026 FIFA World Cup is historic for three reasons: it is the first to be hosted by three nations, the first to expand to 48 teams (up from 32), and it returns to North America for the first time since the 1994 tournament in the United States. The 11 host cities span from the coastal megalopolis of Los Angeles to the high-altitude heart of Mexico City, from the football-mad heartland of Kansas City to the international crossroads of Toronto.
Eight of the venues are in the United States, two in Mexico (Mexico City and Guadalajara), and one in Canada (Toronto). The tournament runs from June 8 to July 19, 2026, with the Final scheduled for MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey — the New York City metropolitan area.
Each host city brings a distinct character to the tournament. Miami offers a deep-rooted Latin American fan culture. Seattle delivers unmatched atmosphere. Estadio Azteca brings unparalleled football heritage. Kansas City and Philadelphia bring authentic American sporting passion. No matter where fans land, the 2026 World Cup will be the most geographically diverse in history.
