2026 is co-hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico across 16 cities, with brutal coast-to-coast travel. The Trump travel ban currently bars or restricts citizens of 19 countries from entering the US, with immigrant-visa processing for 75 more halted as of January. Some fans plan to skip US matches and stick to Canada or Mexico, and host-nation hotel bookings are lagging.
