The 2030 World Cup will feature a unique hosting format, with Spain, Portugal, and Morocco serving as the main co-hosts. As host nations, all three teams have been granted automatic qualification by FIFA.

Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay have also qualified automatically, as each country will host one commemorative match marking the centenary of the first FIFA World Cup, held in Uruguay in 1930.

Following the three centenary matches in South America, the remainder of the tournament will be played in Spain, Portugal, and Morocco.
