The 2026 FIFA World Cup is set to make history as it expands to include 48 teams and a total of 104 matches, hosted across three countries: the United States, Mexico, and Canada. This tournament will begin on June 11 and will adhere to the traditional mid-year schedule, differing from the previous World Cup held in Qatar in late 2022. This change brings the event back to the summer season in the Northern Hemisphere, aligning with typical European and South American football calendars.

The anticipated final match is scheduled for Sunday, July 19, 2026, at 4:00 PM local time in Argentina. This will mark the conclusion of an extensive tournament featuring teams from around the globe, culminating in what is expected to be an exciting showdown. Notably, this match will also be the 104th and final encounter of the tournament, thus holding significant importance in the overall competition.
