The 2026 FIFA World Cup is scheduled to run from June 11 to July 19 across the United States, Canada and Mexico, the first time three countries have jointly hosted the tournament. The published schedule lists Spain against Belgium on July 10 at 3 p.m. ET in Inglewood, California, in the Los Angeles area. The listing gives the fixture date and venue; the final is scheduled for July 19 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Inglewood is separate from the city of Los Angeles, though the venue serves the wider Los Angeles area. The United States has 11 host cities. Canada’s are Toronto and Vancouver, while Mexico’s are Monterrey, Guadalajara and Mexico City. The tournament’s North American footprint means large travel between venues, making location an impressive part of planning for teams and supporters.
The group-stage schedule lists Spain against Cabo Verde and Saudi Arabia in Atlanta on June 15 and June 21, respectively. Belgium is scheduled to play Egypt in Seattle on June 15 and Iran in the Los Angeles area on June 21. Spain’s only World Cup title came in 2010; Belgium’s best finish was third place in 2018.
