We encourage fans everywhere to get ready to secure their place – these will be the most coveted seats in world sport.”
2026 Tournament Kick-off
The highly anticipated 2026 tournament is set to begin on Thursday, June 11, 2026, in Mexico City. The grand finale will take place on Sunday, July 19, 2026, in New York New Jersey, a city that just successfully hosted the FIFA Club World Cup final last Sunday.
Setting the Stage for 2026
Building on the success of the recent FIFA Club World Cup, which concluded last Sunday in New York New Jersey, the 2026 tournament promises to be a landmark event. The Club World Cup, FIFA’s new flagship competition, brought together 32 of the world’s elite club teams and drew nearly 2.5 million fans across 11 U.S. cities, effectively laying the groundwork for the excitement that awaits in 2026.
With 6.5 million fans expected to attend, the 2026 edition of the FIFA World Cup will be the biggest FIFA World Cup yet, consisting of 48 teams and 104 matches across the three host countries. Fans should start planning now in order to be there when it happens – to witness greatness and be part of this historic tournament and its enthralling in-stadium experience.
