The World Cup is in the U.S. right now in 2026, as part of the joint tournament with Canada and Mexico. The next time the U.S. is likely to host again is not officially set yet , but current reporting says the U.S. is interested in bidding for 2038.

What that means

  • 2026 : World Cup matches are being played in the U.S. now, alongside Canada and Mexico.
  • 2038 : That is the next publicly discussed possible return for a U.S.-hosted men’s World Cup, but it is only a reported interest, not a confirmed award.
  • FIFA has not announced the next confirmed U.S. host cycle beyond 2026 in the information available here.

Simple answer

If you mean “when will the World Cup be in the U.S. again after 2026,” the best current answer is: possibly 2038, but that is not locked in yet.

Context

The U.S. is hosting the 2026 tournament with 11 host cities, and the event runs from June 11 to July 19, 2026. That means the country is already getting its next turn now, and any future return depends on FIFA’s future bidding and selection process.

TL;DR: The U.S. has the World Cup in 2026, and the next possible return being talked about is 2038, but nothing after 2026 is officially confirmed yet.
