2026 FIFA World Cup: The United States, Canada, and Mexico will host and take part in the 23rd edition of the most prestigious tournament in the world in 2026, bringing an expanded field with them.
Argentina, which will attempt to defend its championship, is off to a solid start as CONMEBOL and Africa both began World Cup qualification earlier than the Asian Football Confederation.
Other confederations won’t join the fight for another six months, and Europe still has about a year and a half before it starts its trip to the North American World Cup.
