The next World Cups
The 2026 FIFA World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico finished on July 19, 2026. Next up is the FIFA Women's World Cup 2027 in Brazil, from June 24 to July 25, 2027 — the first Women's World Cup held in South America. The 2030 men's World Cup will be hosted by Spain, Portugal and Morocco, with centenary opening matches in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay; it is expected in June–July 2030, so that countdown is an estimate until FIFA confirms dates.
