when will the world cup be in the us again after 2026

The next men’s World Cup in the U.S. after 2026 is most likely 2038 , based on current reporting that the U.S. is interested in bidding for that tournament and that FIFA’s current rotation rules make North America a likely candidate.

What’s known

• The 2026 World Cup is being co-hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada, with matches in 11 U.S. cities.

• Recent reporting says the U.S. could consider bidding for the 2038 World Cup.
• Commentary in current soccer coverage says FIFA’s rotation rules make the Americas a strong candidate region for 2038.

Practical answer

• Most likely year: 2038.

• Certainty level: not guaranteed, because hosting is still subject to FIFA’s bid process and future rules.

Quick note

If you mean the women’s World Cup or a different FIFA tournament, the timing would be different.
