Three host countries, 48 teams, 104 matches and one FIFA World Cup champion.
Anticipation is already building for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The quadrennial tournament will feature some new twists in its next edition, as the United States, Mexico and Canada will share hosting duties for the newly expanded 48-team field.
While the field is far from decided, FIFA announced the dates and venues for every 2026 World Cup match on Sunday. Mexico will play the tournament’s opening match on June 11, 2026, in Mexico City, the U.S. men’s national team will open play a day later at SoFi Stadium and the tournament will wrap up with the World Cup Final at MetLife Stadium on July 19, 2026.
Here is everything to know so far about 2026 FIFA World Cup matches, venues and tickets.

How to get 2026 FIFA World Cup tickets
Tickets are not yet available for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Based on the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, it could be well over a year before anyone can buy tickets for 2026 games. FIFA opened its first sales phase for the last tournament in January 2022, about 10 months before the opening match.
