About our 2026 FIFA World Cup news

Latest news on 2026 FIFA World Cup in USA, Mexico and Canada, tracking host cities, teams, qualifiers, preparations and tournament updates for football's premier competition.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup represents a historic milestone as the first tournament to be hosted by three nations - the United States, Mexico, and Canada - and the first to feature an expanded format of 48 teams. With 16 host cities across North America, including iconic venues like New York/New Jersey, Los Angeles, and Mexico City, this promises to be the largest World Cup in history.

Preparations for the tournament are well underway, with significant infrastructure developments and stadium renovations occurring across all host cities. FIFA has confirmed the tournament will run from 11 June to 19 July 2026, with the opening match scheduled at Mexico City's iconic Estadio Azteca and the final to be played at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The qualifying process has begun across various confederations, with teams vying for the expanded allocation of spots.

The tournament's expanded format has generated excitement among football fans worldwide, particularly in regions benefiting from increased qualification spots. Local communities across the host cities are preparing to welcome millions of visitors, with cultural celebrations and fan festivals being planned to showcase North American hospitality. The tournament is expected to break attendance records, with FIFA projecting over 5 million spectators across the 104 matches.

This World Cup marks several significant firsts in football history. Beyond being the first three-country hosted tournament, it represents Mexico's third time as host (after 1970 and 1986), the United States' second (after 1994), and Canada's first men's World Cup. The legacy of previous tournaments in North America, particularly the 1994 World Cup which catalysed soccer's growth in the United States, suggests this event could have transformative effects on the sport's popularity across the region.

Our NewsNow feed provides comprehensive coverage of all 2026 FIFA World Cup developments, from qualification matches to infrastructure updates and tournament preparations. Stay informed with the latest news from FIFA, participating teams, and host cities as we approach this groundbreaking edition of football's most prestigious tournament.
