About the 2026 FIFA World Cup
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is one of the most historic sporting events of the 21st century. For the first time in the tournament’s 96-year history, three nations — the United States, Canada, and Mexico — are jointly hosting the world’s greatest sporting competition. With 48 national teams competing (up from 32 in 2022), 104 total matches (up from 64), and 16 host stadiums across North America, the 2026 World Cup is genuinely the biggest football tournament ever staged.
The tournament runs from approximately June 11 to July 19, 2026, with the World Cup Final taking place at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Other iconic host venues include the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles, the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City (making history as the first venue to host World Cup matches in three separate tournaments — 1970, 1986, and 2026), the AT&T Stadium in Dallas, and BC Place in Vancouver, Canada.
Why Watch the World Cup on Cosmott
There are many ways to watch the 2026 World Cup. But cosmott.com/ offers advantages that no traditional broadcaster or individual streaming platform can match:
- Every match, guaranteed: All 104 World Cup matches are available on Cosmott — from the opening group stage fixture to the Final itself
- Multi-language commentary: Watch with commentary in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Arabic, German, Italian, Dutch, and more — depending on your broadcast preference
- 4K streaming available: Select World Cup matches available in 4K Ultra HD where broadcast rights allow

- One subscription, all devices: Watch from your living room TV, your tablet at work, or your phone anywhere in the world
