Three countries. One tournament.
First-ever three-host World Cup — and the biggest ever
2026 is the first FIFA World Cup hosted by three countries, the first with 48 teams, and the first with 104 matches. The tournament opens in Mexico City on 11 June and finishes at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on 19 July. Below, every single host city in order.
Host country
🇺🇸 USA — 11 host cities

New York / New Jersey
MetLife Stadium
New York is New York. The biggest host city of the tournament will stage the final and multiple knockout matches, giving fans the full Manhattan-plus-matchday experience from Times Square to the Meadowlands.

Los Angeles
SoFi Stadium
Los Angeles has the second-largest Mexican-American population in the world and will be one of the most atmospheric host cities for any Concacaf or South American nation.

Dallas
AT&T Stadium
Dallas-Fort Worth is the fourth-largest metropolitan area in the United States, with a massive soccer-watching community and some of the fiercest high school and college football culture in the country.

Kansas City
Arrowhead Stadium
Kansas City is one of the great American barbecue and jazz cities — a surprising and rewarding host city choice for the 2026 tournament, sitting in the middle of the country.

Boston
Gillette Stadium
Boston is the historic core of American football (the soccer kind too), home to some of the oldest universities in the country and one of the most walkable east-coast city centres.

Philadelphia
Lincoln Financial Field
Philadelphia is one of the United States' oldest and most walkable cities, with a strong sports culture, a top-tier food scene and excellent rail links up and down the east coast.

Miami
Hard Rock Stadium
Miami is the most international-feeling city in the United States, with huge Latin American communities and one of the fastest-growing football cultures in the country.

Atlanta
Mercedes-Benz Stadium
Atlanta is the capital of the American South and the home of the best-supported MLS club in the country — Atlanta United regularly draws 70,000+ to home matches.

Houston
NRG Stadium
Houston is the fourth-largest city in the United States, with a huge Latin American community and one of the most diverse populations in the country. Soccer is a big deal here.

Seattle
Lumen Field
Seattle is one of the most soccer-obsessed cities in the United States and has produced some of the best MLS crowds ever recorded. The Pacific Northwest is serious about the game.

San Francisco Bay Area
Levi's Stadium
The San Francisco Bay Area covers San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose and Silicon Valley — one of the most economically powerful regions on the planet and a top tourist destination.
Host country
🇲🇽 Mexico — 3 host cities

Mexico City
Estadio Azteca
Mexico City is football folklore. From Pelé in 1970 to the Hand of God in 1986, the Azteca has seen more World Cup history than almost any other stadium on Earth. In 2026, Mexico City gets the opening match of the 48-team tournament.

Guadalajara
Estadio Akron
Guadalajara is the second-largest city in Mexico and the cultural capital of the country. Nicknamed the "Pearl of the West", it is the birthplace of mariachi, tequila and charrería.

Monterrey
Estadio BBVA
Monterrey is Mexico's industrial capital in the north of the country, close to the US border and with a distinct culture from central and southern Mexico. Business-first by day, football-first by night.
Host country
🇨🇦 Canada — 2 host cities

Toronto
BMO Field
Toronto is Canada's biggest city and its most diverse — every World Cup team arriving here will find a pocket of home support waiting at the airport.

Vancouver
BC Place
Vancouver is one of the most scenic host cities of the 2026 World Cup — a coastal Pacific city surrounded by mountains, forests and islands. Mild summer weather, walkable neighbourhoods, and a thriving soccer culture.
