YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The first lottery for tickets to the 2026 Men's World Cup is now open. The upcoming tournament, co-hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada, will be the largest ever, with 48 teams competing across a continent.

But as the tournament is set to host more games across more climates, questions and challenges are emerging. The threats of extreme heat, violent summer storms and wildfire smoke have sparked concerns of interruption. And new rules and regulations around traveling to the United States may complicate travel for fans from certain countries.

PBS News' Tim McPhillips spoke to Graham Dunbar, a reporter for the Associated Press, and James Hollis of McEntee Law Group about what to watch ahead of the 2026 Men's World Cup.
