World Cup 2026 Team Base Camps
Where all 48 teams train, sleep, and recover during the group stage — 39 across the United States, seven in Mexico, and two in Canada.
A base camp is a team's home for the group stage: the training ground and hotel a squad settles into, not necessarily a city where it plays. Most are tucked away in quieter towns — 25 of these communities aren't host cities at all. A few spots double up: the Kansas City area drew four teams, and another four are clustered around New York and New Jersey. Find your team below.

Base camps were confirmed in late May 2026 and verified against official announcements. A handful of squads may still fine-tune their exact training site before the first whistle. Cities shown are each team's designated base — check your team's page or the full schedule for where it actually plays.
Frequently asked questions
What is a team base camp at the World Cup?
A base camp is where a team trains, sleeps, and recovers during the group stage — its training ground and team hotel for the tournament. It isn't necessarily a city where the team plays; squads travel out to match venues and return to base between games.
How many teams are based in each host country?
Of the 48 teams, 39 set up their base camp in the United States, seven in Mexico, and two in Canada. In all, 25 of the chosen communities aren't host cities, spreading the tournament beyond the 16 match venues.
Where is the USA team based for the World Cup?
The United States is based in Irvine, California, training at the Great Park Sports Complex. It's one of seven teams basing in California, alongside Australia, Paraguay, Austria, Qatar, New Zealand, and Switzerland.
Which cities host more than one team?
The Kansas City area has the most, with four — Algeria, Argentina, England, and the Netherlands. Another four base around New York and New Jersey. Boston, Dallas, Guadalajara, San Diego, and the San Francisco Bay Area each host two.
Do teams play in their base camp city?
Not always. A base camp is for training and recovery, not matches. Some teams are based near a venue they'll use; others fly between their base and host cities for each game. Check your team's page for its actual fixtures and kickoff times.
