The present invention provides a fixed constant velocity universal joint that can be made compact, has little decrease in load capacity even when the fixed constant velocity universal joint is made compact and is at an operating angle, and can improve high angle strength and durability through lessening instances in which a ball runs over a track at a high angle. A cage 28 includes four pockets 29, a pair of long pockets 30 of which a circumferential direction spacing is wide and a pair of short pockets 31 of which the circumferential direction spacing is narrow. The pair of long pockets 30 are shifted by 180 degrees along a circumferential direction and a pair of short pockets 31 are shifted by 180 degrees along the circumferential direction. The long pockets 30 and the short pockets 31 are alternately disposed along the circumferential direction. A long pocket 30 houses two balls 27. A short pocket 31 houses one ball. An offset amount in the cage is made large to become almost the same as an offset amount of track grooves. Track grooves on a joint inner side are deepened and cage thickness on an opening side is increased.
