The next World Cup host will make football history long before the first whistle.
Rather than being staged in a single country, the 2030 FIFA World Cup will unfold across six nations on three continents, creating the most geographically expansive tournament in the competition’s 100-year history.
FIFA’s centenary edition will begin where the World Cup started in 1930, South America, before shifting to its main hosts in Europe and Africa, a format designed to commemorate the inaugural tournament while showcasing football’s increasingly global reach.
When is the next FIFA World Cup?
The next FIFA World Cup will take place in 2030, with FIFA proposing a tournament running from June 8 to July 21, 2030.
