FIFA confirmed the official schedule for the 2026 World Cup, a historic tournament that will mark the first edition with 48 teams, three host countries – the United States, Mexico and Canada – and a format designed to offer more rest for players and a more comfortable experience for fans, especially for the millions of Hispanics living in the U.S. The competition will kick off on June 11, 2026 and will run until the grand finale on July 19 at the impressive MetLife Stadium, located in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
For the Latino community in the United States, this 2026 World Cup represents a unique opportunity: never before has a World Cup had so many venues and matches on U.S. soil. The group stage, qualifiers and the most anticipated matches will be spread across cities such as Los Angeles, Houston, Dallas, Miami, Atlanta, Seattle, Boston, Philadelphia and Kansas City. This makes it easier for millions of Latino residents to attend the matches of their favorite teams without having to travel long distances or face additional procedures in other countries.

Mexico will officially open the 2026 World Cup by playing at Mexico City Stadium, while the United States will debut in Los Angeles against Paraguay.
In addition, powerhouses such as Brazil, Germany, France, Spain, Argentina and England will be playing key matches at North American venues that have been preparing for years to welcome global fans.
The new World Cup format also introduces an important detail:
103 of the 104 matches will have three days of rest beforehand, a change implemented by FIFA to improve the physical performance of the players and ensure higher quality performances.
For those who plan to watch the games from the USA, follow their favorite teams or attend the stadiums, having the calendar updated in GMT times allows to better organize the schedules according to the corresponding local time zone.
This complete 2026 World Cup schedule includes all group stage, round of 16, round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals, third-place match and the final, as officially published by FIFA.
