The 2026 FIFA World Cup is the first edition to feature 48 teams, expanded from 32 after a FIFA Council vote in January 2017. Matches are spread across 16 venues in three countries: the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The tournament runs from June 11 to July 19, with the group stage producing 104 matches in total before the knockout rounds.

The final takes place at MetLife Stadium in New York, the largest venue in the tournament at over 82,000 capacity. Mexico's Estadio Azteca in Mexico City becomes the first stadium to host matches at three different World Cups, having previously staged finals in 1970 and 1986. SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles and AT&T Stadium in Dallas each host matches through to the semi-final stage.

The timezone spread presents a genuine challenge for viewers outside North America. Kickoff times range from Eastern Time (UTC-4 in summer) at venues like MetLife and Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, to Pacific Time (UTC-7) at Lumen Field in Seattle and BC Place in Vancouver. For fans in London, evening kickoffs on the US West Coast start after midnight. Viewers in Tokyo and Sydney face early-morning starts for most group-stage matches.
