The 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off in June with the United States as co-host alongside Mexico and Canada. With 48 teams and a new format, this will be the biggest World Cup ever.
USA's Chances
The USMNT has its most talented generation ever: Christian Pulisic (AC Milan), Weston McKennie (Juventus), and Gio Reyna (Borussia Dortmund) lead a squad with genuine top-level experience. Home field advantage is real — the U.S. has lost just twice at home since 2022.
Tournament Favorites
- Brazil: Enderson and Vinicius Jr. lead a stacked squad. Always the favorites.
- France: Defending runners-up with Mbappe at his peak
- England: Bellingham, Saka, and the "golden generation" finally delivering
- Argentina: Post-Messi transition but still loaded with talent
Key U.S. Venues
MetLife Stadium (NY) hosts the final. AT&T Stadium (Dallas), SoFi (LA), Hard Rock (Miami), and 7 other U.S. cities. Expect the most attended World Cup in history.
