The Football Fan's Guide to World Cup 2026
World Cup 2026 runs June 11 to July 19, 2026, across 16 host cities in the United States, Mexico, and Canada — the first tri-nation FIFA tournament in history. FIFA expanded the field from 32 to 48 teams, pushing total matches from 64 to 104 over 39 days. Estimated broadcast revenue targets roughly $11 billion across 200+ territories per FIFA financial disclosures. The Los Angeles region hosts eight matches with the LA Memorial Coliseum running the FIFA Fan Festival. 11 of 16 venues are NFL stadiums seating 65,000+, so even group-stage gates dwarf any prior Euro or World Cup crowd. Bottom line: World Cup
