The World Cup is the biggest sporting event of them all — and after a four-year wait it's back, back, back in all its glory.

The 2026 tournament takes place across three countries — the United States, Canada and Mexico — and is the biggest yet, with 48 teams competing to be crowned world champions.

It all kicks off on Thursday, 11 June with Mexico vs South Africa, and then takes in 104 games across more than a month, with the final taking place on July 19.

We'll be covering it all here at TechRadar, with guides to how to watch each game, tips on the best tech to level up your viewing experience and much, much more. Read on for the latest.
