The 2026 World Cup has been awarded to the US, Canada and Mexico - 16 cities (10 USA, 3 Mexico, 3 Canada), with the final being played in New York.
I've no problem with the US hosting a World Cup - they were given a raw deal losing out to the bung-Qataris last time around, but 3 host nations (meaning 3 automatic qualifications from the second weakest conference in the world)?
FIFA members voted for it overwhelmingly, with Morocco being the contender.

Looking forward to this one, the US has some of the best stadia in the world. I suspect when it all comes round we'll also be grateful for the first Summer world cup in eight years.

Good choice. Nice to have Canada and Mexico involved too.

I've no problem with the geography - I just don't like the idea of 3 free passes to the most lucrative stage in world football.

I wonder if they would regionalise the location of groups.
Quite expensive to try to follow a team round such a large space so quickly!Mon the Hibs.

In person, in California most likely. Possibly Denver if they host.

Chuck Blazer was only involved in racketeering, wire fraud, income tax evasion, and money laundering, after all.

A Scotland, Wales, Ireland and maybe England World Cup would be a great option now.

I believe the bulk of the games and quarterfinals on will be in the US, not to rain on our North American unity parade, but it is kind of the US' world cup with participation from friends as opposed to a triple host country.

Getting from New York to LA is longer than Boston to Toronto.

I didn't mean to regionalise by country, just in the most logical way.Mon the Hibs.

Good article in today's Guardian describing the format. Three-team groups will be new and a hark back to the second round format circa 1982.
