FIFA World Cup 2026: schedule and bracket

This summer, millions of soccer fans are going to gather on stadiums and in front of TV screens as FIFA World Cup 2026 starts in North America. In this post, we share a fillable FIFA 2026 bracket — do not miss the fixtures and try forecast the outcomes!

FIFA 2026: a quick introduction

FIFA World Cup 2026 will be the first 48‑team world cup, jointly hosted by Canada, Mexico, and the United States across 16 cities and 104 matches. The tournament runs from 11 June to 19 July 2026.

This year, the classic world cup format has been expanded: 48 national teams are divided into 12 groups of four, each team playing three group‑stage matches. The top two teams from every group, plus the eight best third‑placed sides, advance to a new Round of 32, which then leads into the traditional knockout path – Round of 16, quarter‑finals, semi‑finals and the final. This means FIFA World Cup table and standings will be especially tight as more third‑placed teams fight for qualification.

Host countries, cities and stadiums

FIFA World Cup 2026 will be played at 16 stadiums across North America, with games spread between three host countries. In Mexico, iconic venues like Mexico City’s Estadio Azteca, Estadio Guadalajara and Estadio Monterrey will welcome fans, bringing back memories of previous world cups.

Canada will host matches in Vancouver and Toronto, while the United States offers a wide range of modern arenas, including stadiums in Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, New York New Jersey, Philadelphia, San Francisco Bay Area and Seattle.
