The 2026 FIFA World Cup, the 21st edition, will take place in the USA, Canada and Mexico. FIFA associations have published the latest edition of the World Cup Team Base Camp. Explore the official list of Team Base Camps for 2026 FIFA World Cup across the USA, Mexico, and Canada. Training sites, hotels & location details.
As the excitement builds for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, a crucial part of tournament logistics has started to take shape: the Team Base Camps (TBCs). These base camps will serve as home-away-from-home facilities for the 48 Qualified National Teams, acting as their main training hubs and accommodation centres throughout the tournament.
What is a Team Base Camp?
Table of Contents
A Team Base Camp is the central location where each national team will be based during the World Cup. It includes both a training site and a hotel or accommodation facility, located within reasonable proximity to the stadiums where the team will play their group stage matches.
These base camps play a vital role in helping teams acclimatise, strategise, and rest between games. Unlike previous World Cups with one host country, the vast geography of North America makes the 2026 Team Base Camps more complex and critical than ever.
Selection Process and Criteria
FIFA opened the application process for Team Base Camp proposals in early 2023, inviting cities and facilities across the United States, Mexico, and Canada to apply. Each proposed Team Base Camps for 2026 FIFA World Cup was evaluated based on:
- Proximity to match venues
- High-quality training facilities
- Secure and comfortable accommodations
- Climate and travel accessibility

The latest list of Team Base Camp options for the FIFA World Cup 2026 has been published. The final selection of base camps for each team will take place following the World Cup Final Draw, expected in December 2025, which will establish the geographic zones for group matches.
The latest update to the Team Base Camp brochure has increased the total number of options for qualified and aspiring national teams to consider, as the preparations for the first-ever 48-nation FIFA World Cup teams continue, to 62.
