Cincinnati is among the 23 cities vying to be a host city for the recently awarded 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be hosted by a historic partnership among the United States, Mexico and Canada. FIFA will determine which of the cities will end up hosting FIFA World Cup games at that expanded 48-team tournament in the next 12-24 months. Paul Brown Stadium would be the host venue if Cincinnati is chosen to host games.
