The 2026 World Cup held across the United States, Canada and Mexico is already a record-breaking tournament.
With 48 teams, it is comfortably the largest World Cup in history, introducing a 50% increase from the 32 teams that have participated since the 1998 World Cup in France.
But there are plenty more records that could be broken this year, including the most minutes played, most individual goals and most team goals.
Here is a look at some of the current World Cup record holders and how their place in the history books could be affected in the coming weeks.
In the 96-year history of the men's Fifa World Cup, just eight nations have won the tournament. Of those eight, six have done it multiple times.

The Green Bay Packers are looking to bounce back in 2026 after their playoff run came to an early end last season. While the team’s current focus remains on OTAs and preparations for training camp, Micah Parsons is already looking ahead to a marquee Week 14 showdown against the Buffalo Bills.
Although the matchup could carry major playoff implications next season, Parsons has a more personal reason for eagerly awaiting the game. In a brief video shared by Sports Illustrated, the 27-year-old pass rusher said he is looking forward to facing the Bills because he has yet to record a sack against Josh Allen and wants an opportunity to change that.
“Josh Allen,” said the Packers star edge rusher.
“We play them late in the season. I should be in a groove by then.”
Parsons is still searching for his first sack of Allen, mainly because the two have crossed paths just once in their NFL careers. That meeting took place on December 17, 2023, when the Bills beat the Dallas Cowboys 31-10. In that contest, Parsons was limited to two ****** isted tackles and struggled to make a significant impact on the game.
