The countdown to the most anticipated sporting event on the planet has begun! There are just 100 days left until the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, a tournament that promises to be an epic spectacle, a true celebration of football that will bring the world together around the most beloved sport. This will be a World Cup like never before, with 48 teams competing across three countries — the United States, Mexico, and Canada — and 16 different cities hosting the matches. Get ready, because this tournament is going to be historic!
The World Cup will take place from June 11 to July 19, 2026, with the grand finale scheduled for the New York New Jersey Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Fans will be able to watch all 104 matches live on FOX and FS1, with a record number of 40 games being broadcast during prime time. Don’t miss the chance to see football stars shine, as every match will be available for live streaming and on-demand on the FOX One and FOX Sports apps.
What makes this edition of the World Cup even more special is the fact that it is the first time three countries have come together to host this competition. There has only been one instance of co-hosting in the tournament’s history, in 2002, when South Korea and Japan teamed up. For 2026, 11 cities in the United States will host the matches: Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, New York/New Jersey, Philadelphia, Seattle, and the San Francisco Bay Area. Canada and Mexico will also join the festivities, with Toronto and Vancouver, and Monterrey, Guadalajara, and Mexico City, respectively.
The final of the tournament will be the highlight of the competition, scheduled for July 19 at 3 PM ET, at MetLife Stadium, one of the largest stadiums in America, home to the legendary NFL teams, the New York Giants and the New York Jets.
The United States, represented by stars like Christian Pulisic, already knows its path to glory, with the group stage opponents, the stadiums where they will play, and the match times revealed. The anticipation is palpable, and fans are buzzing!
So far, 42 of the 48 teams have already secured their spots in the World Cup, with the last six places to be decided by the end of March through FIFA intercontinental playoffs and UEFA playoffs. The countdown to the group reveal is generating a unique excitement among nations.
As the world prepares to witness the greatness of football, the spotlight is also turning to the players who could leave their mark on this tournament. The list of stars who may define the 2026 World Cup is already beginning to take shape, and the excitement on social media is only growing.
With all this in mind, football fans cannot miss the excitement that is approaching. The 2026 FIFA World Cup is not just a tournament; it is an opportunity to celebrate the best of the sport, a festival that will unite nations and make history. Mark your calendars and get ready for unforgettable moments!
