The biggest World Cup in history is here. Over 104 matches across 38 days in 16 host cities in three countries, the world champions will be crowned. This 48-team tournament is a competition unlike any other. Its field includes every former champion bar Italy and four debutants: Cabo Verde, Curacao, Jordan and Uzbekistan.

Hosting for the second time, the U.S.A. face perhaps the greatest expectations that have ever been placed on them at a World Cup. The so-called golden generation have struggled to build on the hype that followed their run to the knockout stages in 2022 and now face the pressure of having to capture the imagination of a nation. Will they do so? Will the same happen for co-hosts Mexico and Canada?

Teams to watch out for from the outset include holders Argentina in what will surely this time be Lionel Messi’s last dance on the biggest stage of all. The same will be true for a host of other superstars, most notably his old rival Cristiano Ronaldo. It is hard to believe that Neymar, Luka Modric or maybe even Mohamed Salah will have much left in their tank for 2030. Meanwhile, France will be looking to reclaim the title they won in 2018 and lost in the dramatic final four years later. Spain are many people’s favorite, while Brazil, Portugal and England are sure to number among the contenders.

In short, this promises to be a World Cup as full of stories, drama, and thrills as ever. Here’s how you can watch it:
