With the FIFA World Cup bringing fans from around the globe to Kansas City, many local soccer fans are already wondering:
When could the World Cup come back to KC?
The 2026 FIFA World Cup marks the first time Kansas City has ever hosted World Cup matches, making it a historic moment for the city. With matches at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium and thousands of visitors experiencing everything Kansas City has to offer, the metro has proven it’s ready for the world stage.
Unfortunately, the next two men’s World Cups are already spoken for. The 2030 tournament will be hosted by Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, while the 2034 World Cup is headed to Saudi Arabia.
That means the earliest opportunity for Kansas City to host another men’s World Cup would likely be a future North American bid after 2034.
The good news? Kansas City’s strong soccer culture, passionate fan base, and successful hosting of the 2026 tournament could help attract future international events, including FIFA Club World Cup matches, Women’s World Cup matches, Gold Cup games, and other major soccer competitions.
For now, Kansas City soccer fans should enjoy every moment of the 2026 World Cup—because opportunities like this don’t come around often.
Whether you’re heading to Arrowhead Stadium, the FIFA Fan Festival, or a local watch party, McCarthy Chevrolet Overland Park is proud to be part of a city that’s showing the world what Kansas City is all about.
