World Cup 2026: The Ultimate Business & Affiliate Playbook 
A Tournament of Unprecedented Scale
The FIFA World Cup 2026 is set to be the largest sporting event in human history. Departing from the traditional 32-team format, this edition welcomes 48 nations, transforming the competition into a massive 104-match marathon spanning 39 days. Hosted across three countries—the USA, Canada, and Mexico—this tournament represents more than just football; it is a global economic engine. For the iGaming industry and B2B sectors, 2026 isn’t just a goal—it’s the peak of a decade-long growth cycle.

Historically, knockout rounds see a 40% spike in Live Betting turnover compared to group stages.
