No to any sports themed coins, we will get more than enough for the Olympics in Los Angeles in 2028. Most of the pending bills thankfully die in committee.

Remember, the post 2026 quarters are sports played by youths.
The other problem with the commem programs is that it's not a lot of money. IF the coin sells out, the sponsor receives around $4.5m. With sales running as they're actually running, it's been a lot less. And they have to raise matching funds before the surcharge is released for whatever programs the coin(s) support.

ADDENDUM #2
On Spetember 17, 2024, the House of Representatives suspended its rules and voted to pass HR 7438 (2026 FIFA World Cup 2026 commemorative coins) before the bill had been reported back by the House Committee on Financial Services - atypical but not without precedent considering the number of sponsors it had gained.
The bill is now with the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
The House bill currently has 294 co-sponsors.
- Per GovTrack: 37% chance of being enacted (i.e., becoming law) as of the date of this post.

ADDENDUM #3
In the waning days of the 118th Congress, the 2026 FIFA World Cup 2026 commemorative coin bill has been approved by the Senate via Unanimous Consent; it was subsequently signed into law by US President Joe Biden on December 11, 2024.
As the Senate passed the already-approved House bill without amendment, the Act created the three-coin program (Gold Half Eagle ($5), Silver Dollar and Copper-Nickel Clad Half Dollar) as described above.
The bill's passage ensures that the American Independence 250th Anniversary will not be the only event commemorated with coins in 2026!

Interesting how some of these bills progress. The May 13, 2024 update provided a 6% chance of passage - and now the commemorative series is law.
