About this project

World Cup 2026 Hub is an independent, unofficial fan project built to bring the FIFA World Cup 2026 together in one fast, friendly place. The 2026 tournament is the biggest in history — the first hosted by three nations and the first with 48 teams — and the goal here is simple: make it easy and enjoyable to follow, whether you live for every group-stage match or just want to keep half an eye on the knockout rounds.

What you'll find

Our editorial standards

Our guides and explainers are original — written for this site, not copied or rewritten from anywhere else. We deliberately stick to well-established, evergreen facts about the tournament, its history and how it works, and we research them from public sources. Every article is fact-checked and editorially reviewed before it's published, and we update or correct pieces when something changes or a reader flags a mistake.

We'd rather leave something out than state it without being confident it's accurate — so where details aren't yet confirmed (full squads, the match draw, exact fixtures), we say so plainly instead of guessing. If you ever spot an error, please tell us and we'll put it right.

How our data works

Match and standings data is sourced from public football data providers, and news is aggregated from publicly available feeds and linked back to the original publishers. Where live data isn't yet available, the site shows clearly labelled sample data so the experience stays intact. We respect the terms of the sources we rely on and always credit and link out to original reporting.

Independent and unofficial

This site is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to FIFA or any official World Cup body. "FIFA" and "World Cup" are trademarks of their respective owners and are used here only descriptively, to refer to the tournament we're all looking forward to.
