2026 World Cup draw on December 5 in Las Vegas

On December 5, the draw for the 2026 World Cup is expected to take place in Las Vegas, according to multiple media reports. This article outlines what is currently known about the rumour. Although the reports are widely shared, FIFA has not yet issued an official confirmation.

World Cup 2026 draw scheduled for December 5?

According to various sources, including ESPN, the draw is scheduled for December 5, 2025. That’s when the group stage for the tournament is expected to be announced.

However, there is still no official confirmation from FIFA. Until then, it remains uncertain whether December 5 is indeed the correct date.

  • Date: possibly December 5, 2025
  • Tournament: 2026 World Cup with 48 nations
  • Status: no confirmation from FIFA yet

Las Vegas in the picture as host city

The U.S. city of Las Vegas is said to have been selected as the location for the draw. Original alternatives in Canada and Mexico have reportedly been ruled out. This suggests that the draw will once again take place in the United States, just like in 1994.

Although venues such as The Sphere and the Convention Center were mentioned as potential locations, both are reportedly booked on December 5. The exact venue within Las Vegas is therefore still unclear.

A unique edition of the World Cup

The 2026 World Cup will be the first edition to feature 48 participating nations. Matches will be played in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The draw is a key moment in the preparations for both teams and fans.

Cities like Pachuca, which offer training facilities, are also eagerly awaiting the official confirmation. The group draw will determine where teams will train and play.

  • 48 participating countries
  • Three host nations: USA, Canada, and Mexico
  • More matches than ever before
