16 cities have been confirmed as host venues for the 2026 World Cup. The event will be the first in FIFA's expanded 48 team competition. It will also be the first World Cup to be hosted in 3 different countries, with Canada, USA and Mexico sharing the rights.
Mexico will host matches in 3 cities, Canada in 2 cities, with the remaining 12 cities hosting games in the USA.
The host cities and stadiums have been confirmed as:
United States
Mexico
