The 2034 men's football World Cup will be held in Saudi Arabia, while Spain, Portugal and Morocco will be joint hosts for the 2030 tournament, world governing body Fifa has confirmed.
Three matches in the 2030 tournament will also be held in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay to mark 100 years of the competition.
The hosts for both World Cups were confirmed at Wednesday's Extraordinary Fifa Congress meeting following a vote.
Morocco, Spain, and Portugal are set to host the men's 2030 World Cup, with Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay also included, each securing a match in their home countries.
The opening three matches of the tournament will take place in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay.
That is because Fifa is commemorating 100 years since the inaugural World Cup.
That competition was staged in Uruguay and won by the hosts, with Argentina the beaten finalists. Paraguay, meanwhile, is where the South American football confederation - Conmebol - is based.
Conmebol is the oldest continental football federation in the world, and the only one in existence at the 1930 World Cup.
Who qualifies for the 2030 World Cup?
The tournament hosts secure automatic qualification, which means Morocco, Portugal and Spain - plus Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay - are guaranteed places.
The other places will be determined by qualifying competitions in each of the continental confederation.
Qualification places are divided between the confederations.
These quotas are yet to be confirmed for 2030, but here's how the places were allocated for the 2026 World Cup, which is also a 48-team tournament:
- Asian Football Confederation - eight places
- Confederation of African Football - nine places
- Concacaf (North, Central America and Caribbean) - six places
- Conmebol - six places
- Oceania Football Confederation - one place
- Uefa (Europe) - 16 places
The final two spots will be decided through a play-off tournament featuring six teams.
