World Cup 2026 match schedule overview

The first two visuals rank the countries where participants play during the season. The league with the most money sits at the top, which is no surprise. More surprising: half of all participants play in just seven countries.

A treemap adds a second hierarchy: continent. Most players earn their money in Europe.

Social media and fan engagement metrics

The last visual is available for each country and shows exactly which clubs its players belong to during the season.
