Soccer fever is gearing up and the countdown to summer 2026 is already building excitement.
The International Football Tournament returns to North America and this time for the first time it will be with 48 teams competing across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The tournament will be held from June 11 – July 19, jointly hosted by sixteen cities—eleven in the United States, three in Mexico, and two in Canada.
It will be the first international soccer tournament to feature 48 countries instead of 32, making it the biggest in history.
Houston is known for its international food scene (lets talk BBQ!), multicultural neighborhoods, and warm Texas hospitality. With matches planned at NRG Stadium, Houston is set to become a major destination for fans from around the world.
NRG Stadium is built for big crowds and major occasions. It is also home to the famous Houston Rodeo.
It opened in 2002, seats 72,220, and was the first NFL facility to have a retractable roof. Houston will host seven matches, including two games in the knockout phase, from June 14th through July 4th.
Five group-stage fixtures will be held at the stadium as well as one Round of 32 tie and a Round of 16 clash (Germany, Curaçao, Portugal, the Netherlands, Uzbekistan, Cabo Verde and Saudi Arabia).
Get ready to discover iconic landmarks, world-class venues, vibrant neighborhoods, and 39-days of fan celebrations across the region.
