2026 World Cup: The list of matches to be played in Mexico, USA, and Canada

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is set to make history as the first tournament to expand its participant field to 48 teams, an increase of 16 nations compared to the 2022 Qatar World Cup. This expansion marks a significant shift in the tournament's scale and format.

This edition will also be unique for being co-hosted by three North American nations: Canada, the United States, and Mexico. While Canada is hosting for the first time, Mexico will achieve a historic milestone by becoming the first country to host the World Cup for a third time, having previously hosted in 1970 and 1986. The United States will host the tournament for the second time, following its 1994 event.

A total of 16 stadiums will be used across the three host countries. Only two venues, Mexico City's Estadio Azteca and Toronto's BMO Field, required extensive renovations to meet the tournament's specifications. The United States will stage the largest number of matches, including the final, while Canada will host fewer games. All three host nations will play their group stage matches in their respective countries to allow their fans to support them on home soil.

The tournament schedule includes a total of 101 matches. Canada will host 6 games in Toronto and 7 in Vancouver. Mexico will host 4 games in Monterrey and 4 in Guadalajara. The United States will host the majority of the matches, with 11 stadiums across the country staging games. The opening match is scheduled for June 11, with the final taking place on July 19.
