The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be the largest in the tournament's history, featuring 48 teams and 104 matches played across 16 stadiums in the United States, Mexico and Canada.

The expanded competition will be jointly hosted by the three North American nations, marking the first time three countries have shared hosting duties.

The United States will host the majority of the matches, staging 78 of the 104 games across 11 venues. AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, will host nine matches and boasts a capacity of 94,000 spectators, making it one of the tournament's largest venues.

Other major U.S. stadiums include MetLife Stadium, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, SoFi Stadium and NRG Stadium.

Mexico's iconic Estadio Azteca, with a capacity of 83,000, will host five matches and become the first stadium to stage World Cup matches in three different tournaments.

The venues reflect FIFA's ambition to deliver a record-breaking event, with millions of fans expected to attend matches across North America during the month-long football spectacle.
