The events are scheduled to take place simultaneously on Wednesday 10th June across three host cities: Toronto, Mexico City, and Los Angeles, officially launching the tournament’s celebrations.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup, co-hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada, will run from 11th June to 19th July, featuring an expanded format of 48 teams for the first time in history.

The concert series is organised in collaboration with the Grammy Foundation. It will feature international artists from the official 2026 World Cup album, alongside surprise guest appearances and live, interactive segments connecting the three host venues.
