🇲🇽 Mexico
Mexico becomes the first country to host FIFA World Cup matches three times — 1970, 1986 and now 2026. Estadio Azteca, the "cathedral of football", previously hosted the 1970 and 1986 finals and will stage group and knockout games in 2026. Two other modern Mexican venues — Estadio BBVA in Monterrey and Estadio Akron in Guadalajara — complete the Mexican host cities.

🇨🇦 Canada
Canada makes its debut as a World Cup host with two venues: BC Place in Vancouver and BMO Field in Toronto. It's the culmination of a decade of growth for Canadian football — the men's national team qualified for the 2022 World Cup for only the second time in history, and the domestic league has expanded significantly.
