See the track record →2026 is the first World Cup with 48 teams. The group stage splits them into twelve groups of four. The top two from every group advance automatically, joined by the eight best third-placed teams — thirty-two sides into a brand-new Round of 32, followed by the Round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and the final on 19 July 2026.
That expansion changes the maths of qualification: a strong third place can now be enough to progress, so the race for the best-third spots becomes its own sub-competition running across all twelve groups. It also means more matches than ever — 104 in total, up from 64 — and a longer route to the trophy for the teams that go deep. The tournament is co-hosted across the United States, Canada and Mexico, with sixteen host cities and the opening match in Mexico on 11 June 2026.
