The draw for the 2026 FIFA men's World Cup will take place at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., on Dec. 5, U.S. President Donald Trump announced Friday.

"It's the biggest, probably the biggest event in sports, I guess," said Trump, who made the announcement in an Oval Office event where he was joined by FIFA president Gianni Infantino and Vice President JD Vance.

The 2026 event will be hosted across the United States, Canada and Mexico from June 11 to July 19 and will be the first World Cup hosted by three nations and also the first with the expansion to 48 teams.

Sixteen venues have already been chosen to host games, with 11 in the U.S., three in Mexico and two in Canada.
