With 16 host cities spread across North America, fans face long distances, multiple time zones and three borders.
The 2026 World Cup spans more than 5,000 kilometres from Vancouver in the west to Boston in the east, and from Toronto in the north to Monterrey in the south.
Group draws will try to keep most teams within regional pods to limit travel, but knockout fixtures may cross the entire continent.
