World Cup 2026 — Tournament Overview

FIFA World Cup 2026 is the largest in the history of the tournament, expanding from 32 to 48 national teams competing across 104 matches. The tournament is hosted jointly by the United States, Canada, and Mexico — three nations sharing the World Cup for the first time. Matches run from 11 June 2026 through to the final on 19 July 2026.

The expanded format introduces 12 groups of four teams in the group stage, with the top two from each group plus the eight best third-placed teams advancing to a 32-team knockout round. This creates more closely contested group matches and more opportunities for smaller footballing nations to progress.
