The expanded tournament will be the first to feature 48 teams, an increase of 16 from this year’s competition in Qatar.
The tournament will also hold the distinction of being the first to be co-hosted by three countries.
Selections were confirmed during a ceremony at Rockefeller Center in New York City, overseen by FIFA president Gianni Infantino.
"We congratulate the 16 FIFA World Cup host cities on their outstanding commitment and passion," Infantino said in a statement.
"Today is a historic day – for everyone in those cities and states, for FIFA, for Canada, the USA and Mexico who will put on the greatest show on Earth.
"We look forward to working together with them to deliver what will be an unprecedented FIFA World Cup."
This will be the fourth time that North America has hosted the famous tournament.
