2026 FIFA World Cup (BurntFlakes25)

The 2026 FIFA World Cup was the 23rd edition of the world championship for national football teams organized by FIFA. It took place in Canada, Mexico, and the United States from 11 June to 19 July 2026. The tournament was the first to be hosted by three nations and the first North American World Cup since 1994.
The tournament included 48 teams, expanded from 32. It was the first World Cup since 2002 to be hosted by more than one nation. With its previous hosting of the 1970 and 1986 tournaments, Mexico became the first country to host or co-host the men's World Cup three times. The United States last hosted the men's World Cup in 1994, while it was Canada's first time hosting or co-hosting the men's tournament. The event also returned to its traditional northern summer schedule after the 2022 edition in Qatar, which was held in November and December.
