Personalize your FOX Sports experience by adding favorites as you gear up for the highly anticipated 2026 FIFA World Cup. The 2026 World Cup marks the 23rd edition of this prestigious tournament, set to take place from June 11 to July 19, 2026.
This event promises to be historic, featuring a record 48 teams and being co-hosted by three nations: the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Fans can look forward to comprehensive coverage on the FOX family of networks and the FOX Sports app, which will include live matches, extensive highlights, insightful commentary, and full-match replays.
In terms of logistics, the tournament will be the first of its kind hosted by three countries. Mexico previously held the tournament in 1970 and 1986, while the USA hosted in 1994.
This will be Canada’s first time as a host nation. For those wondering how to catch the action, matches will be available on FOX, FS1, and through the FOX Sports App, among other platforms.
The World Cup qualifiers consist of regional tournaments where national teams compete for the chance to represent their nations at the World Cup. With six regions and various qualification slots available, a total of 48 teams will make it to the final tournament.
As a co-host, the United States Men’s National Team has automatically qualified for the 2026 event. They previously reached the Round of 16 in the 2022 World Cup, where they were defeated by the Netherlands.
Looking ahead, the final draw for the 2026 World Cup will occur in December 2025 at a location in the United States yet to be announced. Finally, the 2022 World Cup held its own excitement, with Argentina, led by Lionel Messi, triumphed over France in a nail-biting final, clinching victory in a penalty shootout after a dramatic 3-3 draw.
