The 2026 World Cup Preview: The Future of Football?

The FIFA World Cup is about to enter a new era.

In this special episode of World Cup Rewind, we look ahead to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the biggest tournament in football history. Hosted across the United States, Canada and Mexico, and featuring an expanded 48-team format, the 2026 World Cup promises to be unlike anything we’ve seen before.

But will bigger mean better?

We examine the key storylines heading into the tournament, from the opportunities and challenges of the expanded format to the nations most likely to challenge for football’s biggest prize. Can Argentina defend their crown? Will England finally end decades of hurt? Could France, Spain, Brazil or Germany dominate the new era? And which emerging nations might become the surprise package of the competition?

We also discuss the host nations, the stadiums, the travel demands facing players and supporters, and how North America’s growing influence on the global game could shape the future of football.

From the next generation of superstars to tactical trends, dark horses and potential controversies, we break down everything you need to know before the road to 2026 reaches its climax.

After revisiting every World Cup from 1930 to 2022, we’re turning our attention to the future. What lessons from football history can help us predict what comes next? And could 2026 become one of the most memorable World Cups of all time?
