We are in a little bit of a lull between World Cups right now, with the women’s World Cup of 2019 just ending — which the USA won — and two years out from the previous men’s World Cup.
You may be wondering when the next World Cup will be held.
The next men’s World Cup will be in 2022 hosted in Qatar.
Because of incredibly hot summer temperatures in Qatar, the tournament, for the first time ever, is being moved to the winter months. Right now it is tentatively scheduled to begin in late November and run until the final, which is scheduled to be held on December 18, 2022.
After that tournament, the next women’s World Cup will be in 2023. No host country has been chosen yet, but several countries have put in a bid to host the tournament.
Those countries are:
- Argentina
- Australia and/or New Zealand (possible joint bid)
- Brazil
- Colombia
- Japan
- South Africa
- South Korea and/or North Korea (possible joint bid)
The 2026 men’s World Cup will be joint hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
