The Daily Mirror has released a 64-page special edition previewing the 2026 World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the USA, Mexico, and Canada. The tournament features 48 teams, 16 venues, and is expected to draw millions of viewers worldwide over five weeks.
England enter the competition as one of the favourites, aiming to end 60 years of hurt. Scotland also qualified after a dramatic night at Hampden Park and will look to cause upsets. The guide includes analysis from chief sports writer Andy Dunn and chief football writer John Cross on England's chances, while the Daily Record's Keith Jackson provides insight on Scotland.
Exclusive interviews with John Barnes, Stuart Pearce, and Gordon Strachan are featured, along with profiles of all 48 teams and the 16 venues across the three host nations. A World Cup wallchart is included to help readers follow the tournament.
