FIFA on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, unveiled the Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Tournament Poster, marking 100 days to the start of the competition, which will be jointly hosted by Canada, Mexico and the United States.
The poster, the final piece in the tournament’s poster collection, features a central player in a collage-style composition, symbolising football’s power to unite the world. It complements the 16 Official Host City Posters released last year and showcases the collaborative work of three artists: Carson Ting (Canada), Minerva GM (Mexico) and Hank Willis Thomas (United States).
Fifa President Gianni Infantino said the poster “captures the energy, diversity and shared passion that will define the most inclusive edition of the tournament in history”.
“From kick-off to the final whistle, billions of fans in stadiums and across every continent will experience moments that go beyond football, uniting cultures and celebrating unity on a truly global stage,” he said.
The 2026 World Cup will feature a record 104 matches, beginning at Mexico City Stadium on 11 June and concluding at New York New Jersey Stadium on 19 July. So far, 42 teams have qualified, including first-time participants Cabo Verde, Curaçao, Jordan and Uzbekistan. The final six spots will be decided through the World Cup play-off tournament and European play-offs later this month.
Fans will be able to purchase tickets during the last-minute sales phase in April, which runs until the end of the tournament. Hospitality packages, including match tickets and premium experiences, are currently available via Fifa’s official website.
Multimedia assets celebrating the milestone, including the official poster, have been made available for media use through Fifa’s digital platforms.
