We don't know this, and possibly can't know this, because we can't see anything further away that about 13.75 billion light years, because the light hasn't had time to reach us yet. And actually we can't even see that far, because the universe only became transparent about 13.35 billion year ago. So we don't actually know what's further away than that.
But infinity is, in my view, a construct of our finite (ha ha) imaginations. In math they say that infinity is a direction, not a number. Remember discussions on the playground?
"My IQ is like 500."
"Oh yeah? My IQ is infinity."
"My IQ is infinity plus one."
"My IQ is infinity times a thousand."
"My IQ is infinity times infinity."
Infinity is not a number.
