Quick Scoop

The next CONCACAF Gold Cup is the 2026 edition , with matches scheduled in summer 2026 (June–July). The tournament that just finished was the 2025 Gold Cup (June 14 – July 6, 2025, in the U.S. and Canada).

When exactly is the next Gold Cup?

  • 2025 Gold Cup : Already played
    • Dates: June 14 – July 6, 2025
    • Hosts: United States and Canada
    • Final: July 6, 2025 at NRG Stadium, Houston.
  • Next scheduled edition : 2026 CONCACAF Gold Cup
    • Expected window: June–July 2026 (traditional Gold Cup summer slot).
* Exact dates and match schedule have not yet been fully detailed in public sources as of mid-2026, but the tournament is confirmed to occur in 2026.

Note: Some coverage originally suggested a 2027 edition based on the old odd-year cycle, but CONCACAF has shifted to a 2025 → 2026 pattern, so the next one after 2025 is indeed the 2026 Gold Cup.

Tournament format and key dates (for context)

The 2025 edition showed the current structure, which is likely similar for 2026:

  • 16 teams
  • Group stage : 4 groups of 4 teams, round-robin (about 10–12 days)
  • Knockout stage :
    • Quarterfinals: 2 days
    • Semifinals: 1 day
    • Final: 1 day, typically on a Sunday

For 2025, the pattern was:

  • Group stage: June 14–24
  • Quarterfinals: June 28–29
  • Semifinals: July 2
  • Final: July 6.

You can expect the 2026 Gold Cup to follow a similar June–July timeline, with the final on a Sunday in early July.
