The complete guide
How to watch the FIFA World Cup 2026
The FIFA World Cup 2026 is the biggest in the tournament's history — the first with 48 teams, a record 104 matches, and three host nations: the United States, Canada and Mexico. It runs from June 11 to July 19, 2026, opening at the iconic Estadio Azteca in Mexico City and ending with the final at MetLife Stadium in the New York / New Jersey area.
Because broadcast rights are sold country by country, the best way to watch live is always through your official local broadcaster. Many countries show marquee matches — the opener, host-nation games and the final — free-to-air. Yacine Player is your companion for the rest: real-time scores, the full fixture list converted to your time zone, live group standings, and alerts so you never miss a kick-off.
A new 48-team format
The expanded tournament splits 48 teams into 12 groups of four. The top two from each group, plus the eight best third-placed teams, progress to a new Round of 32, followed by the Round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final. It means more drama deep into the group stage — and an eight-match road for the eventual champions. Read the full breakdown in our 48-team format guide.
16 host cities across three nations
From Vancouver and Seattle on the Pacific coast to Miami, Toronto and Mexico City, the 2026 finals span 16 host cities. Eleven are in the USA, three in Mexico and two in Canada. Distances are vast, so following the schedule in your own time zone is essential — see our host cities and stadiums guide for every venue.
