"One of the things that sports fans will be looking forward to this 2026 is that it's a World Cup year. Still the most-watched sports event in the world, this year's edition will be jointly hosted by the U.S, Canada, and Mexico this June-July.

World Cup 2026 will be jointly hosted by the U.S., Canada, and Mexico in June–July, generating widespread merchandise releases in 2025 and beyond. LEGO released multiple official FIFA World Cup items including a trophy replica and player dioramas, and plans a new LEGO Editions 43019 Soccer Ball set. The set contains 1,498 pieces and measures 2.8 inches high, 15″ long, and 10.3″ wide when assembled. The ball is a display model rather than a playable football. The sphere opens to reveal a complete miniature stadium with stands, a pitch, and static miniature fans and players. The set offers two display modes: closed ball and opened stadium.
