About the 2026 FIFA World Cup
The 2026 World Cup (or soccer World Cup, as it's known in the United States) is the first edition staged across three host nations — the United States, Canada and Mexico — and the first with an expanded 0-team field. The group stage runs from 11 June 2026, with the 0 groups feeding a 32-team knockout phase that culminates in the final on 19 July 2026 at MetLife Stadium, New Jersey.
Matches are played across 16 host cities in North America, including New York/New Jersey, Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, Miami, Seattle, San Francisco Bay Area, Houston, Philadelphia, Kansas City and Boston in the United States; Toronto and Vancouver in Canada; and Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey in Mexico. Because the tournament is in North America, the schedule above shows every kickoff in US Eastern (ET) and GMT — per-team pages add Pacific (PT) too.
On Planete Football you can follow every group with live tables and fixtures, drill into each of the 0 national-team pages for their squad context, group and schedule, and read our data-driven World Cup predictions for each match — built with the same Poisson model we use across the season, adjusted for recent international form.
