The 2026 World Cup is getting closer and with the draw in the rear view mirror, the official schedule has now been locked in by FIFA. FIFA President Gianni Infantino, joined by former soccer stars such as Ronaldo Nazario, Francesco Totti and Hristo Stoichkov announced the match schedule for the 104 matches that will take place in the United States, Canada and Mexico next summer, including venues and kick-off times for the 48 teams involved in the tournament.
