What year is the FIFA World Cup scheduled for in North America?

The FIFA World Cup is scheduled for 2026 in North America, which will be a historic event as it will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. This marks the first time the tournament will feature an expanded format with 48 teams, increasing from the traditional 32. The year 2026 is significant as FIFA has announced it will be the first World Cup held in this new format, providing greater representation from different countries.

The other years listed do not correspond to the North American hosting arrangement. While the FIFA World Cup occurs every four years, the tournaments in 2024, 2028, and 2030 are slated for different locations as part of the broader scheduling strategy by FIFA.
