Every 2026 FIFA World Cup Stadium at a Glance

The US is home to 11 host venues stretching from Seattle to Miami, Boston to Los Angeles. Canada contributes two: Toronto and Vancouver. Together, these 13 stadiums cover every time zone in North America and account for the majority of the tournament's 104 matches. The sections below break down each venue, the matches it hosts, and what fans should know before they go.

US Host Venues

The 11 US stadiums range from climate-controlled domes in the South to open-air venues in the Pacific Northwest. Match assignments run from the group stage all the way through the Semifinals and the Final.

MetLife Stadium, New York/New Jersey (Final)

MetLife Stadium draws the biggest assignment in the tournament. Eight matches total, including five group-stage games and the World Cup Final on July 19. If you want to be at the most significant MetLife Stadium event in the venue's history, this is it.

SoFi Stadium, Los Angeles

SoFi Stadium is where the United States opens its campaign. With a covered canopy that shields fans from the summer sun, SoFi Stadium's capacity and infrastructure make it one of the most fan-friendly venues in the draw.

AT&T Stadium, Dallas

AT&T Stadium brings a retractable roof to the Texas heat, making it one of the most climate-controlled venues in the draw. The group stage brings marquee matchups: Netherlands vs. Japan on Jun 13, England vs. Croatia on Jun 17, and Japan vs. Sweden on Jun 25. The stadium also hosts a Round of 32 and a Round of 16 before a Semifinal on Jul 14.

NRG Stadium, Houston

NRG Stadium seats more than 72,000 fans under a retractable roof, sitting at the center of one of the largest sports and entertainment complexes in the country. Group-stage matches include Germany vs. Curaçao on Jun 13 and Cape Verde vs. Saudi Arabia on Jun 26.

Inside, the retractable roof and 360-degree halo video board create one of the most distinct viewing environments in the tournament.

Gillette Stadium, Boston

The World Cup returns to the Boston area for the first time since 1994, and Gillette Stadium is the venue. Gillette Stadium events this summer include Haiti vs. Scotland on Jun 12, Iraq vs. Norway on Jun 16, and England vs. Ghana on Jun 23. A Round of 32 and a Quarterfinal on Jul 9 round out the schedule.

Hard Rock Stadium, Miami

Hard Rock Stadium carries one of the heaviest schedules of any venue in the tournament, with seven matches including a Quarterfinal on Jul 11 and the Third-Place Match on Jul 18. Group-stage action includes Saudi Arabia vs. Uruguay on Jun 14, Scotland vs. Brazil on Jun 24, and Colombia vs. Portugal on Jun 27. Plan for heat and humidity: South Florida in July is warm, and the fan bases for several of these nations travel in numbers.

Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia

Lincoln Financial Field adds East Coast depth to the schedule. The Lincoln Financial Field seating chart places fans close to the action, and the venue is accessible from New York via transit, making it a practical option for Northeast-based fans. Group-stage matches include Ivory Coast vs. Ecuador on Jun 13 and Croatia vs. Ghana on Jun 27, plus a Round of 16 on Jul 4.

Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City

Arrowhead Stadium holds the Guinness World Record for loudest crowd roar. Four matches are on the schedule, including a Quarterfinal on Jul 11. Group-stage matchups include Tunisia vs. Netherlands on Jun 25 and Algeria vs. Austria on Jun 27, plus a Round of 32.

Levi's Stadium, San Francisco/Santa Clara

Levi's Stadium is also hosting the 2026 Super Bowl, so the venue will be in peak operational condition when the World Cup arrives. Located in Santa Clara with Caltrain and VTA access from San Francisco, it is one of the more transit-friendly venues on the West Coast. Group-stage matches include Qatar vs. Switzerland on Jun 13 and Paraguay vs. Australia on Jun 25.

Lumen Field, Seattle

Lumen Field is the only open-air venue in the Pacific Northwest, and Seattle's summer weather makes layers a smart call even in June. The stadium has built a reputation for a strong atmosphere through years of Sounders and Seahawks matches. Three matches are on the schedule: Belgium vs. Egypt on Jun 14, USA vs. Australia on Jun 19, and a Round of 16 on Jul 6. Check the Lumen Field seating chart when planning which sections to target for these matchups.

Event Tickets Center is a US-based secondary ticket marketplace with a 100% Buyer Guarantee, transparent pricing, and no hidden fees. For a tournament like this one, the secondary market matters. FIFA's official ticket lotteries were oversubscribed across the board, and many fans who applied through primary channels came away empty-handed.
