The 2026 FIFA World Cup is the largest edition ever staged. For the first time the finals are shared by three host nations — Canada, Mexico and the United States — across 16 venues, and the field expands from 32 to 48 teams playing 104 matches between 11 June and 19 July 2026. Mexico becomes the first country to host (or co-host) three World Cups, after 1970 and 1986.
The expansion rewrites the tournament's shape. The familiar eight groups of four become twelve groups (A–L), and the knockout phase gains an entirely new round — a Round of 32 — so the eventual champion must now win eight matches instead of seven, the longest run ever required to lift the trophy.
This overview page tracks the headline numbers and, once the tournament is under way, the latest results. The section pages go deeper: Groups holds all twelve tables with live standings rules applied, Bracket maps the new 32-team knockout road to the final, Results lists every fixture with kickoff dates, Teams opens all 48 squads — 1,245 registered players, their clubs, caps and captains — and Stats will collect the Golden Boot race, awards and records as they happen.
The hub also includes an Elo-based match predictor: pick any two of the 48 teams and it converts the gap in their World Football Elo ratings into win / draw / loss percentages. It is a fun, transparent reference — form, injuries and tactics are deliberately out of scope — and every figure on these pages is for educational and fan use only.
