North America will be the center of the sporting world during the summer of 2026 as the men's World Cup will be held in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

From the opening match between Mexico and South Africa on June 11 in Mexico City through the final on July 19 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, a total of 104 matches will be held in 11 cities in the United States, plus three in Mexico and two in Canada.

The group stage runs until June 27, with synchronized start times in each group for the final matches in the round-robin. The top two teams in each group – and the eight best third-place finishers – advance to knockout stage, which begins on June 28 with the Round of 32.

MORE 10 World Cup group stage matches we can’t wait to see in 2026
