The 2026 FIFA World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the United States will be the first ever tournament to be hosted jointly by three countries. The next World Cup will be the second and first World Cup to be held on three different continents, with games taking place in six different countries to celebrate the tournament’s centenary.
Here’s everything you need to know about the 2030 World Cup, including venues, hosts and dates:
Who will host the 2030 FIFA World Cup?
The 2030 FIFA World Cup will be hosted by three countries: Morocco, Portugal and Spain. This is the second time in the history of the tournament that three countries will host it, with the 2026 World Cup being the first.
Morocco, Portugal and Spain were officially ratified as co-hosts of the 2030 FIFA World Cup on 11 December 2024, following a bidding process that began in October 2020 and ended in October 2023, with the three countries serving as the sole bidder. Morocco initially did not participate in the bid, hoping to host the tournament as sole host, but joined in March 2023.

When will the 2030 FIFA World Cup take place?
The 2030 FIFA World Cup will take place from June 8, 2030 to July 21, 2030. The 44-day stretch will make it the longest World Cup ever, up from 39 days in 2026 due to the intercontinental travel required to celebrate the 100th anniversary.
Anniversary matches of the World Cup
The 2030 FIFA World Cup will mark the 100th anniversary of the tournament. To celebrate the tournament’s centenary, FIFA awarded Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay three separate opening matches as a tribute to the first-ever FIFA World Cup in 1930.
Uruguay became the first-ever host and winner of the FIFA World Cup, and the celebratory match will be held at the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo, the same stadium that was built for the 1930 tournament. Argentina will host the match at the Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires, runners-up of the 1930 tournament, while Paraguay will host the match at the Estadio Osvaldo Dominguez Dibb in Asunción, where CONMEBOL has its headquarters.
