when is the next fifa world cup after 2026

The next FIFA World Cup after 2026 is 2030. It is scheduled as the 2030 FIFA World Cup , with matches planned across multiple host countries rather than a single nation.

Timing

• The 2030 tournament is the next edition after the 2026 World Cup.
• Coverage published this week says fans are already looking ahead to that event while the 2026 tournament is still underway.

What’s notable

• Unlike 2026, which is being staged in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, the 2030 World Cup is expected to be spread across several countries.
• That makes 2030 one of the more unusual editions in World Cup history.
