The 2026 World Cup will be hosted by three countries, and will feature significant format changes from other recent World Cup tournaments.

The top two teams from each group will move on to the knockout stage, instead of the round of 16 as has been the case in the past. In 1994, the US hosted the World Cup, while Mexico has hosted twice. Canada has never hosted a men's world cup.
