World Cup 2026: Location

Like the Qatar tournament, the 2026 World Cup will break new ground for FIFA.

That’s because it will be held across three countries – United States, Canada and Mexico.

The trio’s bid was voted ahead of the proposal from Morocco.

The 2002 tournament was held in South Korea and Japan, but the World Cup has never had three host nations before – all of whom have automatically qualified.

There will be 16 host cities – 11 in the USA, two in Canada and three in Mexico.

The stadiums being used include the 83,264-capacity Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, New York’s MetLife Stadium and Vancouver’s BC Place.

Several NFL venues will be used to provide huge crowds with 12 of the 16 stadia having capacities over 65,000.

It has also been confirmed that the MetLife Stadium, which holds 82,500 people, will host the final.

The opening game of the tournament will be held at the Estadio Azteca and will see Mexico kick off the action in Group A.

World Cup 2026: Teams and group format

The 2026 World Cup will be the first to include 48 teams, up from 32.

The expanded format was green-lit by the FIFA Council and it will feature a new look of 12 groups of four.

Winners and runners-up in each of those 12 four-team groups will advance to a new Round of 32, where they will be joined by the eight best third-placed teams.

It adds up to a total of 104 matches, up from 64 in Qatar.

For UEFA, there were 12 qualifying groups, with the winners getting a place at the World Cup.

The runners-up all entered a play-off and four have joined, making a total of 16 European sides, which is up from 13 in 2022.

Elsewhere, the qualifying stages have also been completed in Asia [AFC], Africa [CAF], South America [CONMEBOL], North and Central America [CONCACAF] and Oceania [OFC].

All of these confederations have seen an increase in places, and there were also intercontinental play-offs to decide the other two teams.
