Il '''campionato mondiale di calcio 2026''' o '''Coppa del mondo FIFA 2026''' (in [[lingua inglese|inglese]]: ''2018 FIFA World Cup'') sarà la 23ª edizione del quadriennale [[Campionato mondiale di calcio|campionato mondiale di calcio per squadre nazionali maggiori maschili]] organizzato dalla [[Fédération Internationale de Football Association|FIFA]].
 
Sono state presentate alla FIFA due candidature ufficiali per ospitare l'evento: una candidatura congiunta di Canada, Messico e Stati Uniti e una candidatura del Marocco. Il 13 giugno 2018 il 68esimo [[Congresso FIFA]] si riunirà a [[Mosca]], in [[Russia]] per decidere quale delle due candidature ospiterà l'evento. Lo stesso giorno verrà annunciato l'ospitante.<ref name=next_steps/>
 
La competizione avrà per la prima volta 48 squadre partecipanti, dopo che la FIFA ha approvato l'espansione da 32 squadre.<ref name="48teams">{{cite news|url=https://www.fifa.com/about-fifa/news/y=2017/m=1/news=fifa-council-unanimously-decides-on-expansion-of-the-fifa-world-cuptm--2863100.html|title=Unanimous decision expands FIFA World Cup™ to 48 teams from 2026|website=FIFA.com|publisher=Fédération Internationale de Football Association|date=10 January 2017|access-date=10 January 2017}}</ref>

Nel gennaio 2015, la [[UEFA]] con a capo [[Michel Platini]] aveva suggerito l'espansione a 40 squadre,<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/oct/28/michel-platini-40-team-world-cup-russia|title=Michel Platini calls for 40-team World Cup starting with Russia 2018|work=[[The Guardian]]|date=28 October 2013|accessdate=24 January 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24735765|title=BBC Sport&nbsp;— Michel Platini's World Cup expansion plan unlikely&nbsp;— Fifa|work=BBC Sport|date=29 October 2013|accessdate=24 January 2015|deadurl=no|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140421001646/http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24735765|archivedate=21 April 2014|df=dmy-all}}</ref> un idea che il presidente della FIFA [[Gianni Infantino]] ripropose nel marzo 2016.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.iol.co.za/sport/fifa/infantino-suggests-40-team-world-cup-finals-2002682|title=Infantino suggests 40-team World Cup finals|agency=Reuters|website=IOL.co.za|publisher=[[Independent Online (South Africa)|IOL]]|date=30 March 2016|deadurl=no|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20161230230628/http://www.iol.co.za/sport/fifa/infantino-suggests-40-team-world-cup-finals-2002682|archivedate=30 December 2016|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

Il 10 gennaio 2017, il [[Comitato esecutivo della FIFA]] votò all'unanimità per espandere il torneo a 48 squadre.<ref name="48teams"/>
 
Il torneo si aprirà con una fase a gironi. Questa consiste in 16 gironi all'italiana con 3 squadre ciascuno. Le prime due squadre del girone passano il turno e accedono a una [[torneo a eliminazione diretta|fase a eliminazione diretta]] che comincia con 32 squadre.<ref>{{cite web|title=Fifa approves Infantino's plan to expand World Cup to 48 teams from 2026|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jan/10/fifa-vote-expand-world-cup-48-teams-from-2026|publisher=The Guardian|accessdate=10 January 2017|deadurl=no|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170110104617/https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jan/10/fifa-vote-expand-world-cup-48-teams-from-2026|archivedate=10 January 2017|df=dmy-all}}</ref>
Il numero delle partite giocate passerà da 64 a 80 ma il numero di partite giocate dalle finaliste rimane 7, lo stesso del formato vecchio a 32. Il torneo verrà anche disputato in 32 giorni, lo stesso numero del formato veccio a 32.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/38577001|title=World Cup: Gianni Infantino defends tournament expansion to 48 teams|publisher=BBC Sport|date=10 January 2017|deadurl=no|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170331171815/http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/38577001|archivedate=31 March 2017|df=dmy-all}}</ref>
 
La [[European Club Association]] e i suoi membri si opposero alla proposta di espansione, dicendo che il numero delle partite era già a un livello "inaccettabile". Perciò insistettero con il corpo governativo per riconsiderare l'idea di ampliare il numero delle squadre che si qualificano.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://edition.cnn.com/2016/12/15/football/eca-world-cup-fifa-expansion-plan/|title=World Cup: Europe's top clubs oppose FIFA's expansion plans|publisher=CNN|date=15 December 2016|deadurl=no|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20161224164833/http://edition.cnn.com/2016/12/15/football/eca-world-cup-fifa-expansion-plan/|archivedate=24 December 2016|df=dmy-all}}</ref> They contended that it was a decision taken for political reasons, because Infantino would thus satisfy his electorate, rather than for sporting reasons.<ref>{{cite news|title=Críticas a decisión de la FIFA de jugar el Mundial 2026 con 48 selecciones|url=http://www.eluniverso.com/deportes/2017/01/10/nota/5990365/critican-decision-fifa-jugar-mundial-2026-48-selecciones|date=10 January 2017|work=[[El Universo]]|agency=[[Agence France-Presse]]|language=es|deadurl=no|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170111180321/https://www.eluniverso.com/deportes/2017/01/10/nota/5990365/critican-decision-fifa-jugar-mundial-2026-48-selecciones|archivedate=12 January 2017}}</ref>
Il presidente della [[Liga de Fútbol Profesional]] [[Javier Tebas]] era d'accordo e affermò che il nuovo metodo è inaccettabile. Disse sul ''[[Marca (quotidiano)|Marca]]'' che l'industria del calcio è mantenuta grazie ai club e alle leghe, non alla FIFA, e che Infantino promise più stati nella Coppa del Mondo per essere eletto; voleva mantenere le promesse elettorali.<ref>{{cite news|title=Mundial de 48 equipos: durísimas críticas en Europa|url=https://www.clarin.com/deportes/futbol-internacional/mundial-48-equipos-durisimas-criticas-europa_0_BktHNPGUe.html|date=10 January 2017||work=[[Clarín (Argentine newspaper)|Clarín]]|language=es|deadurl=no|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170112153909/https://www.clarin.com/deportes/futbol-internacional/mundial-48-equipos-durisimas-criticas-europa_0_BktHNPGUe.html|archivedate=12 January 2017}}</ref> L'allenatore della nazionale tedesca [[Joachim Löw]] avvisò che l'espansione, come successe a [[UEFA Euro 2016|Euro 2016]], avrebbe diminuito la qualità del torneo perché i giocatori hanno già raggiunto il loro limite fisico e mentale,<ref>{{cite news|url=http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/article/2016/10/02/low-confirms-opposition-40-team-world-cup|title=Low confirms opposition to 40-team World Cup|agency=[[Australian Associated Press]]|publisher=sbs.com.au|date=2 October 2016|deadurl=no|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20161005031826/http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/article/2016/10/02/low-confirms-opposition-40-team-world-cup|archivedate=5 October 2016|df=dmy-all}}</ref> Un altro punto critico del nuovo formato è che con i gironi da 3 squadre c'è una maggiore possibilità, in rapporto ai gironi da 4 squadre, che ci sia una collusione fra due squadre che giocano nell'ultima partita. Nei gironi da 4, infatti, tutte le squadre sono impegnate simultaneamente. Il presidente Infantino suggerì di ricorrere ai calci di rigore ogni volta che si pareggia anche nei gironi.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/how-48-team-world-cup-2026-will-work-what-left-be-decided-1600342|title=How 48-team World Cup in 2026 will work and what is left to be decided|publisher=International Business Times|author=George Flood|date=10 January 2017|deadurl=no|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170111143139/http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/how-48-team-world-cup-2026-will-work-what-left-be-decided-1600342|archivedate=11 January 2017|df=dmy-all}}</ref>
 
===Slot allocation===
Il 30 marzo 2017, l'ente del Comitato Esecutivo della FIFA (composto dal presidente della FIFA e dai presidenti delle sei confederazioni) proposero una slot allocation per i Mondiali FIFA 2026. La raccomandazione venne presentata per la ratifica dal [[Comitato Esecutivo della FIFA]].<ref name="slot">{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/about-fifa/news/y=2017/m=3/news=bureau-of-the-council-recommends-slot-allocation-for-the-2026-fifa-wor-2878254.html|title=Bureau of the Council recommends slot allocation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup|publisher=FIFA|date=30 March 2017|deadurl=no|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170409184031/http://www.fifa.com/about-fifa/news/y%3D2017/m%3D3/news%3Dbureau-of-the-council-recommends-slot-allocation-for-the-2026-fifa-wor-2878254.html|archivedate=9 April 2017|df=dmy-all}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/39448474|title=World Cup 2026: Fifa reveals allocation for 48-team tournament|publisher=BBC|date=30 March 2017|deadurl=no|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170330224520/http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/39448474|archivedate=30 March 2017|df=dmy-all}}</ref>
 
Il 9 maggio 2017, due giorni prima del 67esimo [[Congresso FIFA]], il Comitato Esecutivo approvò la slot allocation in un incontro a [[Manama]], Bahrain. Esso include un play-off intercontinentale che coinvolge sei squadre. Due di queste si aggiudicano la qualificazione ai Mondiali.<ref name=fifa_council>{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/about-fifa/news/y=2017/m=5/news=fifa-council-prepares-congress-takes-key-decisions-for-the-future-of-t-2883353.html|title=FIFA Council prepares Congress, takes key decisions for the future of the FIFA World Cup™|publisher=FIFA|date=9 May 2017|deadurl=no|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170618072825/http://www.fifa.com/about-fifa/news/y%3D2017/m%3D5/news%3Dfifa-council-prepares-congress-takes-key-decisions-for-the-future-of-t-2883353.html|archivedate=18 June 2017|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

For 2026, the slot of the host country will be taken from the quota of its confederation. In case of co-hosting, the number of automatically qualified host countries will be decided by the FIFA Council.<ref name="slot"/><ref name=fifa_council/>
 
====Play-off tournament====
A play-off tournament involving six teams will be held to decide the last two FIFA World Cup berths,<ref name=slot/> consisting of one team per confederation (except for [[UEFA]]) and one additional team from the confederation of the host country.
 
Two of the teams will be seeded based on the [[FIFA World Rankings]], and the seeded teams will play for a [[FIFA World Cup]] berth against the winners of the first two knockout games involving the four unseeded teams.
 
The tournament is to be played in the host country(ies) and to be used as a test event for the FIFA World Cup. The existing play-off window of November 2025 has been suggested as a tentative date for the 2026 edition.

The FIFA Council went back and forth between 2013 and 2017 on limitations within hosting rotation based on the continental confederations. Originally, it was set that bids to be host would not be allowed from countries belonging to confederations that hosted the two preceding tournaments. It was temporarily changed to only prohibit countries belonging to the confederation that hosted the previous World Cup from bidding to host the following tournament,<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/y=2015/m=5/news=current-allocation-of-fifa-world-cuptm-confederation-slots-maintained-2610611.html|title=Current allocation of FIFA World Cup™ confederation slots maintained|publisher=FIFA.com|date=30 May 2015|deadurl=no|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150530211217/http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/y%3D2015/m%3D5/news%3Dcurrent-allocation-of-fifa-world-cuptm-confederation-slots-maintained-2610611.html|archivedate=30 May 2015|df=dmy-all}}</ref> before the rule was changed back to its prior state of two World Cups. However the FIFA Council did make an exception to potentially grant eligibility to member associations of the confederation of the second-to-last host of the FIFA World Cup in the event that none of the received bids fulfill the strict technical and financial requirements.<ref name="fifacouncil">{{cite news|url=https://www.fifa.com/about-fifa/news/y=2016/m=10/news=fifa-council-discusses-vision-for-the-future-of-football-2843681.html?intcmp=fifacom_hp_module_news_top|title=FIFA Council discusses vision for the future of football|publisher=FIFA.com|date=14 October 2016|deadurl=no|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20161017181207/http://www.fifa.com/about-fifa/news/y%3D2016/m%3D10/news%3Dfifa-council-discusses-vision-for-the-future-of-football-2843681.html?intcmp=fifacom_hp_module_news_top|archivedate=17 October 2016|df=dmy-all}}</ref><ref name="ap-cbc">{{cite news|url=http://www.cbc.ca/sports/soccer/world-cup-expanded-1.3804717|title=FIFA blocks Europe from hosting 2026 World Cup, lifting Canada's chances|agency=Associated Press|publisher=[[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation|CBC]]|date=14 October 2016|deadurl=no|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20161014191406/http://www.cbc.ca/sports/soccer/world-cup-expanded-1.3804717|archivedate=14 October 2016|df=dmy-all}}</ref> In March 2017, FIFA president [[Gianni Infantino]] confirmed that "Europe ([[UEFA]]) and Asia ([[Asian Football Confederation|AFC]]) are excluded from the bidding following the selection of [[2018 FIFA World Cup|Russia]] and [[2022 FIFA World Cup|Qatar]] in 2018 and 2022 respectively."<ref name=guardian>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/mar/09/donald-trump-travel-ban-could-prevent-united-states-hosting-football-world-cup |title=Trump travel ban could prevent United States hosting World Cup |newspaper=The Guardian |date=9 March 2017}}</ref> Therefore, the 2026 World Cup could be hosted by one of the remaining four confederations: CONCACAF (last hosted in 1994), CAF (last hosted in 2010), CONMEBOL (last hosted in 2014), or OFC (never hosted before), or potentially by UEFA in case no bid from those four met the requirements.
 
Co-hosting the FIFA World Cup — which had been banned by FIFA after the 2002 World Cup — was approved for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, though not limited to a specific number but instead evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Also by 2026, the FIFA general secretariat, after consultation with the Competitions Committee, will have the power to exclude bidders who do not meet the minimum technical requirements to host the competition.<ref name="fifacouncil"/>

The bidding process originally consisted of four phases:<ref name="process"/>
*May 2016&nbsp;– May 2017: a new strategy and consultation phase
*June 2017&nbsp;– December 2017: enhanced phases for bid preparation
*March 2018&nbsp;– June 2018: bid evaluation
*June 2018: final decision
 
The consultation phase focused on four areas:
*The inclusion of human rights requirements, sustainable event management, environmental protection in the bidding
*Principle of exclusion of bidders that do not meet technical requirements
*Review of the current stance on joint bids

On 7 November 2017, FIFA published a guide to bidding process. It outlines the key elements of the reformed bidding process, the assessment mechanisms in place, recommendations on the protection of the process’ integrity, the timeline for the selection of the host(s), the specific requirements for hosting, a detailed explanation of the government guarantees, as well as the principles of sustainable event management and human rights protection.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/about-fifa/news/y=2017/m=10/news=fifa-publishes-guide-to-bidding-process-for-the-2026-fifa-world-cuptm-2916170.html|title=FIFA publishes guide to bidding process for the 2026 FIFA World Cup|date=7 November 2017|publisher=FIFA.com}}</ref><ref name=guide>{{cite web|url=http://resources.fifa.com/mm/document/affederation/administration/02/91/88/61/en_guidetothebiddingprocessforthe2026fifaworldcup_neutral.pdf|title=GUIDE TO THE BIDDING PROCESS FOR THE 2026 FIFA WORLD CUP}}</ref>
 
====Bid Evaluation Task Force====
On 27 October 2017, the FIFA Council ratified the decision of the Bureau of the Council of 6 September 2017 to approve the enhanced Bidding Regulations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. It also appointed the members of the Bid Evaluation Task Force.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/about-fifa/news/y=2017/m=10/news=fifa-council-approves-key-organisational-elements-of-the-fifa-world-cu-2917722.html|title=FIFA Council approves key organisational elements of the FIFA World Cup|date=27 October 2017|publisher=FIFA.com}}</ref>

====Fast track bid process====
With no rival bid having emerged since April 2017 the CONCACAF member federations of Canada, Mexico and the United States sent a joint request to FIFA to hasten the bid process. Canada, Mexico and the United States wanted FIFA to award the bid outside the traditional bidding process at the June 2018 FIFA Congress in Moscow if the CONCACAF-bid meets FIFA requirements.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://kwese.espn.com/football/fifa-world-cup/story/3101103/us-led-2026-world-cup-bid-to-ask-fifa-for-approval-this-year-sources|title=CONCACAF to ask FIFA to fast-track U.S.-led 2026 World Cup bid -- sources|date=11 April 2011|access-date=8 May 2017|publisher=|deadurl=no|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170523132431/http://kwese.espn.com/football/fifa-world-cup/story/3101103/us-led-2026-world-cup-bid-to-ask-fifa-for-approval-this-year-sources|archivedate=23 May 2017|df=dmy-all}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-soccer-fifa-worldcup-idUSKBN1841XW|title=FIFA Council set to back North American 2026 World Cup bid|date=8 May 2017|publisher=Reuters}}</ref>
 
However the [[FIFA Council]] proposed on 8 May 2017 that [[FIFA]] shall establish a bidding procedure inviting initially only the member associations of [[Confederation of African Football|CAF]], [[CONCACAF]], [[CONMEBOL]] and the [[Oceania Football Confederation|OFC]] - continental confederations whose members have not hosted the two previous World Cups - as candidates to submit to FIFA bids to host the final competition of the 2026 FIFA World Cup by 11 August 2017. The 68th FIFA Congress will decide on the selection of the candidate host associations.<ref name=fifa_council/>
 
On 11 May 2017, the 67th [[FIFA Congress]] voted on the [[FIFA Council]] proposal to the fast-track the 2026 FIFA World Cup bid process and set the following deadlines:<ref name=next_steps>{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/about-fifa/news/y=2017/m=5/news=fifa-congress-confirms-next-steps-of-the-bidding-process-for-the-2026--2883665.html?intcmp=fifacom_hp_module_news_top|title=FIFA Congress confirms next steps of the bidding process for the 2026 FIFA World Cup|publisher=FIFA|date=11 May 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/may/11/fifa-2026-world-cup-bid-process-fast-tracked|title=Fifa votes overwhelmingly to fast-track 2026 World Cup bid process|publisher=The Guardian|date=11 May 2017|deadurl=no|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170512160639/https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/may/11/fifa-2026-world-cup-bid-process-fast-tracked|archivedate=12 May 2017|df=dmy-all}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espnfc.com/blog/fifa/243/post/3123848/fifa-approves-plan-to-fast-track-2026-world-cup-host-bidding-process|title=FIFA approves plan to fast-track 2026 World Cup host bidding process|publisher=ESPN|date=11 May 2017}}</ref>
 
*11 August 2017: any other nations interested in bidding have to express interest
*16 March 2018: bidders must meet a list of FIFA's technical specifications, and bids must be officially submitted by then
*13 June 2018: the 68th [[FIFA Congress]] will decide on whether to select one of the official bids. Should neither be selected, further member associations, including those from AFC and UEFA and excluding the initial bidders, will be invited to bid.
 
===Bid requirements===

FIFA's awarding of rights to Fox has been criticized for its lack of tender process, having been done in order to placate Fox regarding the move of the 2022 World Cup (which it has the rights to) from summer in the United States to late fall, during the first few weeks of the [[National Football League]] regular season. Due to the lack of a tender, FIFA lost revenue.
