Countdown Clocks Mark FIFA 2026 World Cup Across Canada, US, Mexico

With exactly one year until the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off, excitement is building across host cities in Canada, the United States, and Mexico, where preparations are well underway. Multiple official countdown clocks have been unveiled in key locations including DFW International Airport's Terminal D in Dallas-Fort Worth, Quincy Market in Boston, Vancouver’s Terry Fox Plaza outside BC Place Stadium, and Toronto, marking the global anticipation for the expanded 48-team tournament. Dallas-Fort Worth, expecting 150,000 international travelers daily during the event, highlights the global significance of the tournament and announced new co-chairs for its organizing committee, including FC Dallas President Dan Hunt. Boston is preparing to host seven matches at Gillette Stadium, temporarily rebranded as 'Boston Stadium,' expecting $1.1 billion in regional economic impact, while offering fan events for those without tickets. Each countdown clock shares a uniform design featuring the 2026 logo and a digital timer, symbolizing the unity and scale of the event across all 16 host cities. The tournament officially begins June 11, 2026, in Mexico City, promising to put North America on the global sporting stage for a month-long celebration.
