World Cup 2026 host countries: USA, Canada and Mexico

For the first time, three countries share hosting duties: the United States, Canada and Mexico.

• United States — hosting the bulk of matches, including the final near New York
• Mexico — becomes the first country to host or co-host the World Cup three times (1970, 1986, 2026), with the opener at the Estadio Azteca
• Canada — co-hosts for the first time, with matches in Toronto and Vancouver

Across the three nations, 16 cities will stage the 104 matches. All three host teams qualified automatically.
