The 2026 FIFA World Cup is the quadrennial (every four years) competition between the best national teams in the world of soccer (or maybe you call it football or futbol or fussball). The 2026 edition of the World Cup is coming to the United States, Canada and Mexico.
The Miami metropolitan area will play a large role in the competition, with seven matches scheduled to be played at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. The schedule includes four Group Stage matches, a game in the round of 32, one of the quarterfinal matches, and the 3rd place/bronze medal match.
