The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Last week, the city of Los Angeles announced their bid to host several games of the campaign and it is expected that other cities will follow suit. The reason why Montreal decided to withdraw as a Canadian host city is because of the costs to the taxpayers. This is the second city in Canada that has decided to opt-out as a host city, with Vancouver being the first one earlier this year. But on Tuesday, Montreal announced that they will not host any games in the 2026 World Cup, which will include 48 teams for the first time in the history of the tournament. With this announcement, Canada hopes that Edmonton and Toronto ramp up their bids as host cities before the group of 16 North American municipalities are confirmed by FIFA.
