The 2026 FIFA World Cup begins this evening, June 11th, with a ceremony at the iconic Azteca Stadium in Mexico City. This tournament, co-hosted by Mexico, Canada, and the USA, marks the first time the World Cup will feature three separate opening ceremonies. Ceremonies will also be held in Toronto and Los Angeles, a novel approach by FIFA. The opening events will showcase performances from major artists including Katy Perry and Michael Bublé. After a two-decade absence, the Czech Republic national team will participate in the championship. Viewers can tune in to live broadcasts to witness the spectacle and the start of the competition.
