The Canadian men's national soccer team has officially qualified for the 2026 FIFA men's World Cup.
Soccer's international governing body confirmed that Canada — along with the U.S. and Mexico — have secured automatic berths as co-hosts of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The marquee event — set to begin on June 3, 2026 and conclude on July 8, 2026 — will have 16 cities across the three countries host games, which includes Toronto and Vancouver.
FIFA released a statement Tuesday saying: "The FIFA Council confirmed that, in line with the long-standing tradition of having all hosts competing at the FIFA World Cup, as well as sporting and operational considerations, the hosts of the FIFA World Cup 2026, namely Canada, Mexico and the USA, will qualify automatically for the final round of the competition, with their slots therefore being deducted from the overall allocation of six assigned to CONCACAF."

A new expanded format will debut at the 2026 World Cup, with the number of teams participating increasing from 32 to 48.
The event will also be the first that features three nations as co-hosts.
Both Japan and South Korea claimed automatic berths as co-hosts in 2002 and was the only event in men's history that featured matches taking place in more than one country.
The Canadian men ended a 36-year drought between World Cup appearances when it qualified for Qatar in 2022. Canada lost all three of its group-stage matches to Belgium, Croatia and Morocco.

2026 World Cup hosts confirmed as automatic qualifiers; 2030 host vote set for 2024

Feb 14, 2023
The 2030 World Cup hosts are due to be picked in September 2024, FIFA said on Tuesday, also confirming that the three 2026 World Cup hosts -- the United States, Canada and Mexico -- all had their expected automatic entries confirmed in the 48-team finals tournament.
FIFA's ruling council confirmed a timetable for 2030 bidding and a vote to be held in the third quarter of next year by around 200 member federations.

FIFA has long targeted a decision in 2024 for the tournament that is currently scheduled to have 48 teams.
A separate election meeting will be held earlier in 2024 to pick a host for the 2027 Women's World Cup, football's governing body said.
The 2026 World Cup will be the first edition expanded from the 32-team tournament that was introduced in 1998.
FIFA also picked Saudi Arabia -- a potential candidate in the 2030 contest -- to host the next Club World Cup from Dec. 12-22 in the latest addition to the kingdom's sports hosting ambitions.
In the 2030 hosting race, co-hosting bids from South America and Europe have been the expected favorites, with Morocco also in the picture and speculation about a Saudi-led and unprecedented three-continent project.
The inaugural 1930 World Cup host, Uruguay, is part of a centenary bid with Argentina, Chile and Paraguay.
Spain and Portugal were joined last October for their longstanding European candidacy by Ukraine.
Morocco committed to taking part in the 2030 contest more than four years ago immediately after losing the vote for the 2026 tournament to the North Americans.
At the World Cup in Qatar in December, Moroccan football federation leader Fouzi Lekjaa was still open to reviving an old idea of Morocco joining its near-neighbors Spain and Portugal in an intercontinental bid.
Saudi Arabia's ambitions to host more football events have led to unconfirmed speculation of a 2030 bid with Egypt in Africa and Greece in Europe.
It is unclear how European body UEFA would deal with a member federation joining a rival bid.
Such a bid also would require sending the tournament back to Asia and the Persian Gulf only eight years after Qatar hosted, so a Saudi bid for 2034 could be more realistic.
The Saudi-hosted Club World Cup in December should be the last in the current seven-team format of continental champions plus the host nation's domestic league winner.
FIFA has set a June 2025 target to launch a tournament of 32 teams with European teams taking 12 entries.
Continental allocations for the tournament were confirmed Tuesday with South America to get six teams, and four each going to Asia, Africa and the CONCACAF region, plus one to Oceania.
The host nation will get the last slot.
The United States is a potential host for the 2025 Club World Cup as a test event for the following year's World Cup.

The host cities for the 2026 World Cup have been announced by FIFA.
The tournament will be the first to see 48 countries compete – an expansion from 32 – and will see 60 matches contested across three nations - Canada, Mexico, and the United States – across 16 cities.
Two of the host cities are in Canada, three in Mexico and 11 are in the United States. FIFA said in a statement it was the most "transparent and comprehensive bidding process in football history".

The Pasadena Rose Bowl in Los Angeles - host of the 1994 World Cup final - misses out, but the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City does make the cut, meaning it will be the first stadia to host matches at three separate World Cups.
“We congratulate the 16 FIFA World Cup Host Cities on their outstanding commitment and passion," said FIFA president Gianni Infantino.
"Today is a historic day – for everyone in those cities and states, for FIFA, for Canada, the USA and Mexico who will put on the greatest show on Earth.
"We look forward to working together with them to deliver what will be an unprecedented FIFA World Cup and a game-changer as we strive to make football truly global."
