World Cup, United States, Mexico, Canada
17 June 2026
The 2026 World Cup has passed 1.5 million match spectators through June 17, while host-nation openers delivered major TV audiences across the United States, Mexico and Canada. The United States’ Paraguay match drew a reported 27.5 million viewers.
The figures show strong early momentum despite earlier concerns over pricing, travel and empty seats. With all three co-hosts still central to the group-stage story, FIFA could see more attendance and broadcast records fall before the knockout rounds.
