World Cup 2026: Every stadium hosting matches across the USA, Canada and Mexico

The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be staged across 16 venues in the United States, Canada and Mexico, with the expanded 48-team format producing 104 matches across the three host nations this summer.

MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, will host the final on 19 July, while Mexico City’s historic Estadio Azteca opens the tournament with Mexico facing South Africa — a rematch of their 2010 World Cup group-stage encounter, this time on home soil.
