JAKARTA - Las Vegas will host the 2026 World Cup draw on December 5, 2025.
Vegas is the city chosen after cities in Canada and Mexico were dropped for the draw for this newly expanded tournament.
Pachuca executive Pedro Cedillo, who is campaigning for Mexico to become the location of the World Cup training camp, recently told ESPN that he expected the draw to take place in Vegas.
"On December 5, (2025), if I'm not mistaken, is the right day for draw, or in early December."
"I understand the draw will take place in Las Vegas. That's where we need to be present to provide information about the city of Pachuca, the state of Hidalgo, and the two venues we have," he said.

In 1994, when the United States last hosted the World Cup, the draw was held at the Las Vegas Convention Center. However, the venue, along with other places, has been booked for December 5, 2025.
The Sphere in Las Vegas - which has a screen of 54,000 square meters and has a capacity of 17,500 people - is reported as a potential place for draw. However, there are rumors that the draw will not be done in The Sphere.
The expanded 2026 World Cup will be played across the United States, Canada, and Mexico with 48 teams, not 32 teams like the previous edition.
