One Year to Go Until FIFA World Cup 2026 Begins
- The 2026 FIFA World Cup is set to commence on June 11, 2026, with matches held across 16 venues spanning three host nations: Mexico, the U.S., and Canada, featuring a record 48 teams competing in the tournament.
- This tournament follows FIFA's 2023 reversal of a proposed 16-groups-of-three format in favor of 12 groups of four teams, with 32 advancing to the knockout stage.
- The tournament will take place from June 11 to July 19, beginning at Mexico City's Azteca Stadium and culminating with the final match at MetLife Stadium located in the New York/New Jersey area.
- Gov. Phil Murphy said the region will be "soccer central worldwide" leading up to the tournament, while CEO Alex Lasry described Liberty State Park as the main fan gathering place.
- Concerns about human rights, especially in the U.S., have prompted calls for FIFA and hosts to ensure protections for fans, workers, and media throughout the event.
