FIFA’s World Cup will return to the New York area, Los Angeles and Mexico City — and could visit Miami, Toronto and Seattle for the first time — if a combined North American bid wins the hosting rights for soccer’s showcase event in 2026.
Those six cities — and 17 more — are on a final list the bid committee representing the United States, Mexico and Canada will submit to FIFA on Friday, the deadline for completed proposals. FIFA will choose the 2026 host in June, in a vote of its 211 member associations. The only other country bidding for the event is Morocco.
