Where is the 2026 World Cup?
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is unique because it will be hosted by three North American countries: Canada, Mexico, and the United States. This marks the first time the tournament has been shared by three nations, allowing for a broader geographical spread of matches and a chance for more cities to experience the excitement of hosting.
