Think about it: the World Cup happens every four years. That’s 1,461 days of buildup. Each match becomes a tiny, precious gem in your memory.
Remember the last one? England lost in the quarterfinals to France. It was heartbreaking. But also hilarious when Harry Kane skied that penalty into the London atmosphere.
Now we have three years to dream about redemption. Three years to wonder if Jude Bellingham will be the best player on the planet. Spoiler: he probably will be.
The U.S., Canada, and Mexico are hosting. That means weird time zones. Say goodbye to afternoon kickoffs. Hello to 2 a.m. coffee and shouting at a TV in your pajamas.

Ah, yes—the boring but necessary part. England will play qualifying matches before the big show. Those start in March 2026. Mark that too.

Qualifiers are where the fun begins. You get to watch England play San Marino and score 12 goals. One of those goals will be from a defender’s backside. It’s tradition.
The team will also face some obscure opponents. Like Kazakhstan or Montenegro. You’ll Google their capitals and pretend you know their football history. We all do it.
