The domestic season is over. Next, we will support the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. It all starts on June 11th when Mexico plays South Africa.
There’s no better way to stay up to date with all the latest information than with our Make Football Great Again newsletter, delivered straight to your inbox every morning. This way you won’t miss any news about the 2026 World Cup.
The biggest World Cup in history will be held in three different countries in different time zones, with 104 matches played at 16 different venues.
That’s a lot of football and a lot of buzz. That’s why our morning newsletter summarizes everything you need to know and helps you predict what’s to come.
This tournament will give soccer fans the opportunity to make their voices heard more than ever before. Opinions on key debates, a chance to choose your England XI, a chance to make your decision on Thomas Tuchel’s selection dilemma, a chance to predict outcomes, a chance to rate players and a chance to take part in a World Cup quiz.
The Tartans will follow in the footsteps of Scotland, who qualified for the tournament for the first time since 1998. In other regions, Cape Verde, Curaçao, Jordan and Uzbekistan will be participating for the first time in what is expected to be their first appearance in the tournament.
The 2026 World Cup will be Lionel Messi’s last chance to represent Argentina, and it could also be Cristiano Ronaldo’s final shot at glory in Portugal’s colors.
And then a controversy ensues. Ticket price disputes, concerns about US immigration policy, reports of boycott threats over US President Donald Trump’s actions, and concerns about extreme heat.
We cover every aspect of your preparation for the tournament, including a global scouting report feature for all 48 participating countries.
And our new podcast ‘Make Football Great Again’, hosted by Harry Brent and featuring the Mirror’s dedicated football writers, delves deeper into all things World Cup, including ‘untold stories’ from behind the scenes from past tournaments.
