The 2026 World Cup will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, marking the first time in history that three countries have jointly hosted. The tournament will begin on June 12 and conclude on July 20, lasting 39 days. This edition expands the field for the first time to 48 teams, with 104 matches played across 16 host cities. The format consists of 12 groups of four teams each; the top two teams from each group and the eight best third-placed teams advance to the knockout stage. The defending champions are Argentina. The total prize money set a record high, and most matches are friendly to Chinese fans, so there’s no need to stay up late to watch. #BinancePickAndWin
