Here are the preliminary cities for the 2026 World Cup, overall 34 cities in the US, 7 from Canada and only 3 from Mexico. It is not yet known how many will actually be selected should the North American bid win the World Cup, it is believed to be at least 12, some interesting options including Green Bay ffs
Only stadiums with 80,000+ capacity can host the opener and final, as already confirmed the US will host the tournament from the quarterfinals onward
Out of this list, 20-25 will be selected for the final bid which will be sent to FIFA, sometime early next year
