U.S, Mexico and Canada to Host 2026 FIFA World Cup

The United States, Mexico, and Canada will be the hosts of the 2026 FIFA World Cup

The North American bid defeated its only challenger, Morocco, by a vote of 134-65.

It will be the first time the World Cup is hosted by three countries, but a vast majority of the tournament will be on United States soil.

Of the 80 matches, 10 will be held in Canada, 10 in Mexico and 60 in the United States — including the final, at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

The last time the men’s World Cup was in North America was when the United States hosted in 1994. It was held in Mexico in 1970 and 1986, and Canada has never hosted.
