The 2026 FIFA World Cup has become the highest-attended tournament in the competition's history, with more than 3.6 million fans watching matches in stadiums. The tournament has passed the previous attendance record set during the 1994 World Cup in the United States. FIFA confirmed the milestone during the group stage. The expanded tournament features 48 teams and 104 matches, helping drive record crowds across host venues. More matches are still to be played, so the attendance total is expected to rise further. The new record highlights the strong fan support for football across the United States, Canada and Mexico. (PC: X)
