Houston got some BIG news today! We’ll be hosting one of the World Cup games at NRG Stadium in 2026! 
The matches will be played in 16 cities across North America, making it the first time the tournament will have three host nations.
The games will be set up by region, moving across the continent west to east. Houston has been grouped into the Central region. Even though the schedule is yet to be announced, Houston is predicted to host 5 or 6 of the games. The World Cup is the biggest sporting event in the world and will bring in billions in revenue! This will be the equivalent of hosting six Super Bowls. The 2026 games will be the first time that the tournament will include 48 teams, instead of the current 32-team format.
