Following on from the footballing extravaganza of Qatar 2022 where every match was played in one city, the 2026 tournament will be a more traditional touring spectacular with the event spread across 16 cities in three countries!

From the Canadian gems of Vancouver and Toronto, through the US north-east, south and west coast down to Monterrey, Guadalajara and Mexico City, 2026 will provide the ideal combination of world class football action and incredible sightseeing opportunities. See you there!

FIFA WORLD CUP HOST CITIES

North America 2026 will be held across four geographical areas:

• West Coast: Los Angeles, San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle & Vancouver
  
• North-East: New York, Boston, Philadelphia & Toronto
  
• Mid-West & Southern USA: Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Miami & Kansas City
  
• Mexico: Mexico City, Guadalajara & Monterrey

Details on where groups and knockout matches will be played are still to be announced.

TOURNAMENT STRUCTURE 2026

Along with the expanded number of host cities, the 2026 FIFA World Cup will be expanded from the previous 32 teams to 48 teams.

Participating countries will be placed in 12 groups of four teams, with the top two and eight best 3rd place getters advancing to a new Round of 32 stage of the knockout phase of the tournament.

Asia will have 8 directly qualified teams, with a 9th possible via the FIFA Play-off Tournament.

SOCCEROOS QUALIFYING

The Socceroos have been drawn into Group C in the AFC's 3rd round of qualifying which takes place between September 2024 and June 2025, with the top 2 teams in the Group automatically qualifying for the FIFA World Cup. If the Socceroos were to finish 3rd in the group they would still have the opportunity to qualify via a round-robin against the 3rd-place finishers in Groups A & B. Beyond that, there's still one last opportunity via the FIFA Play-off Tournament.

FOLLOW AUSTRALIA TOUR

Following on from our tours to Germany, South Africa, Brazil, Russia and Qatar, we are excitedly looking at possible touring options depending on where the Socceroos will be drawn to play.

We will have tours including both of Australia’s initial pool matches and presumptive round of 32 clash, options to extend and following Australia’s path deeper into the tournament and city-based options for anyone wanting to see as much football as possible - as we learnt in Doha, too much football is never enough!
