FIFA mandates a 3-minute hydration break at the 22-minute mark in each half of the 2026 World Cup matches.
FIFA will mandate a 3-minute hydration break at the 22-minute mark of each half in all 2026 World Cup matches, regardless of weather or stadium conditions, replacing previous rules tied to temperature thresholds.
The change, aimed at improving player safety after heat-related concerns during the 2025 Club World Cup, ensures consistency and helps broadcasters with scheduling.
Referees may adjust timing slightly if a stoppage occurs near the break.
The rule applies across host nations the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
