USA, Mexico and Canada Eliminated From 2026 FIFA World Cup Before Quarter-Final.

The United States, Mexico, and Canada have all been eliminated from the 2026 FIFA World Cup, ending the hopes of the tournament's three co-host nations before the quarter-final stage.

The final blow came on Monday, July 6, 2026, when Belgium secured an emphatic 4-1 victory over the United States at Lumen Field in Seattle, bringing the hosts' World Cup campaign to an end.

The result completed a disappointing tournament for the three nations jointly hosting the competition. Although each country successfully progressed from the group stage into the Round of 16, none managed to secure a place in the last eight.

The 2026 World Cup has made history as the first edition to be hosted by three countries and the first to feature an expanded 48-team tournament format. However, despite the home advantage enjoyed by the co-hosts, their campaigns ended earlier than many supporters had hoped.

Canada became the first host nation to exit the competition after suffering a convincing 3-0 defeat to Morocco in their Round of 16 encounter on Saturday, July 4.

Morocco controlled the contest from start to finish, with Azzedine Ounahi scoring twice before Soufiane Rahimi added a late goal to seal an impressive victory.

Canada's challenge was also hampered by injury concerns surrounding star winger Alphonso Davies, whose fitness problems limited his impact throughout the tournament and reduced the team's attacking options.

A day later, Mexico also bowed out after losing 3-2 to England in front of a packed crowd of more than 80,000 supporters at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.

England established control of the match early, with Jude Bellingham scoring twice within just 98 seconds during the first half.

Despite England being reduced to ten men later in the game, Harry Kane converted a penalty to help secure victory and send the Three Lions into the quarter-finals.

The defeat extended Mexico's long wait for a place in the World Cup quarter-finals, a feat the country last achieved when it hosted the tournament in 1986.

Following the disappointing exit, reports suggest that head coach Javier Aguirre could be replaced by his assistant, Rafael Márquez, as Mexico begins preparations for future competitions.

The United States became the final host nation to leave the tournament after Belgium produced a dominant display in Seattle.

The build-up to the match attracted considerable attention following the reinstatement of American forward Folarin Balogun, whose earlier red-card suspension had been overturned.

The fixture also generated political discussion after comments made by U.S. President Donald Trump ahead of the game.

However, once the match kicked off, Belgium proved too strong for the Americans, producing a commanding performance to secure a comprehensive 4-1 victory and book their place in the quarter-finals.

With the United States' elimination, the 2026 FIFA World Cup will continue without any of its three host nations, making it one of the rare occasions in World Cup history where every host country failed to progress beyond the Round of 16.
