The 2034 FIFA World Cup will be held in Saudi Arabia. The FIFA Congress awarded the tournament on 11 December 2024 – the same day as the 2030 World Cup. Saudi Arabia was the only bidder after Australia decided not to run.
FIFA has not decided when the tournament will be played. Summer temperatures in Saudi Arabia often exceed 40 °C, so – as with Qatar 2022 – a winter World Cup is considered possible. The stadium list comes from the bid and may still change.
In Saudi Arabia, in the five cities of Riyadh, Jeddah, Al Khobar, Abha and NEOM.
The dates are not set yet. Because of the summer heat, a winter World Cup – as in Qatar in 2022 – is possible.
48 teams, as since the 2026 World Cup. Host Saudi Arabia qualifies automatically.
As of November 10, 2026. We add new information from FIFA as it is published.
