In February 2023, shortly after the conclusion of the 2022 Men’s FIFA World Cup, we looked ahead to 2026 and noted that the largest World Cup in history would be coming to North America, and with it, a fresh round of investment in host cities. Now, with kickoff of the 2026 FIFA World Cup less than a month away, that investment cycle is no longer hypothetical. The 48-team, 104-match tournament kicks off on June 11, 2026, in cities across North America. The U.S. is host to 78 out of 104 total matches, and throughout those host cities, both public agencies and private businesses have undertaken major projects to prepare for the impending influx of fans during the course of the tournament.
