Sixteen stadiums. Three countries. One map
For the first time, three countries share the World Cup. Scroll to fly across all 16 host stadiums, from Toronto to Mexico City, and explore every venue where the 2026 tournament will be decided.
Toronto Stadium – BMO Field
Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Capacity: ~45,700
Opened: 2007
Local team(s): Toronto FC (MLS)
FIFA World Cup 26™ fixtures: 6 matches, group stage plus a Round of 32 tie
This is where Canada opens its home World Cup. BMO Field was built for the U-20 World Cup in 2007 and has been expanded again for 2026, keeping the steep, close stands that make Toronto FC nights feel louder than the seat count suggests. Six matches run through here, and the first carries a whole country's hopes.
BC Place Vancouver – BC Place
Location: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Capacity: ~54,500
Opened: 1983
Local team(s): Vancouver Whitecaps FC (MLS), BC Lions (CFL)
FIFA World Cup 26™ fixtures: 7 matches, group stage through the Round of 16
BC Place sits between the ocean and the mountains under a retractable roof that has already sheltered a World Cup final, the Women's decider in 2015. The 2010 Winter Games opened and closed here too. Seven matches make it Canada's busiest venue, knockout rounds included, with the downtown skyline as a backdrop.
Seattle Stadium – Lumen Field
Location: Seattle, Washington, USA
Capacity: ~69,000
Opened: 2002
Local team(s): Seattle Sounders FC (MLS), Seattle Seahawks (NFL)
FIFA World Cup 26™ fixtures: Group stage and knockout rounds
Few crowds in North America make noise like Seattle's. Lumen Field turns the city's Sounders support into a wall of sound off its steep stands, the downtown skyline rising beyond the open end. The matches here will test how visiting teams cope with the volume.
San Francisco Bay Area Stadium – Levi's Stadium
Location: Santa Clara, California, USA
Capacity: ~70,900
Opened: 2014
Local team(s): San Francisco 49ers (NFL)
FIFA World Cup 26™ fixtures: Group stage and knockout rounds
Santa Clara has a crowded 2026: World Cup football, the Super Bowl, and a Bay Area marking San Francisco's 250th year. Levi's Stadium suits the moment, an open, sun-filled bowl wired with the kind of technology you would expect this close to Silicon Valley. Expect bright afternoons and a crowd as varied as Northern California itself.
Los Angeles Stadium – SoFi Stadium
Location: Inglewood (Los Angeles), California, USA
Capacity: ~70,240 (expandable)
Opened: 2020
Local team(s): Los Angeles Rams, Los Angeles Chargers (NFL)
FIFA World Cup 26™ fixtures: Group stage through the quarter-finals
At a reported five billion dollars, SoFi is the most expensive stadium ever built, sheltered under a translucent canopy that lets the California light in and keeps the weather out. A vast two-sided video board hangs over the field so the whole bowl shares the same view. It is Hollywood's idea of a stadium, and its schedule runs to the quarter-finals.
Houston Stadium – NRG Stadium
Location: Houston, Texas, USA
Capacity: ~72,220
Opened: 2002
Local team(s): Houston Texans (NFL)
FIFA World Cup 26™ fixtures: Group stage and knockout rounds
NRG Stadium was among the first NFL venues built with a retractable roof, which keeps Houston's summer heat outside while the football carries on in comfort. It anchors the wider NRG Park complex and draws its crowds from one of the most diverse cities in the United States.
Dallas Stadium – AT&T Stadium
Location: Arlington (Dallas–Fort Worth), Texas, USA
Capacity: ~92,967
Opened: 2009
Local team(s): Dallas Cowboys (NFL)
FIFA World Cup 26™ fixtures: 9 matches, group stage through a semi-final
Everything is bigger here. AT&T Stadium seats more than ninety thousand under a retractable roof, with one of the largest video boards in world sport suspended over the pitch. Dallas hosts more matches than any other 2026 venue, a run that ends in a semi-final.
Kansas City Stadium – Arrowhead Stadium
Location: Kansas City, Missouri, USA
Capacity: ~76,600
Opened: 1972 (renovated 2010)
Local team(s): Kansas City Chiefs (NFL)
FIFA World Cup 26™ fixtures: Group stage through a quarter-final
Arrowhead holds the Guinness World Record for the loudest crowd roar at a sports stadium, set by Chiefs fans who have had since 1972 to perfect it. The steep bowl traps the sound and throws it straight back at the field. Few away ends in the tournament will be less welcoming, and the schedule runs to a quarter-final.
Atlanta Stadium – Mercedes-Benz Stadium
Location: Atlanta, Georgia, USA
Capacity: ~75,000
Opened: 2017
Local team(s): Atlanta United FC (MLS), Atlanta Falcons (NFL)
FIFA World Cup 26™ fixtures: 8 matches, group stage through a semi-final
Mercedes-Benz Stadium opens overhead through an eight-panel roof that pinwheels shut like a camera shutter, a circular video board ringing the bowl below. Atlanta United fill it often enough to set MLS attendance records, so the atmosphere is proven. The city's run of matches finishes with a semi-final.
Miami Stadium – Hard Rock Stadium
Location: Miami Gardens, Florida, USA
Capacity: ~67,500
Opened: 1987 (renovated 2016)
Local team(s): Miami Dolphins (NFL), Miami Hurricanes (NCAA)
FIFA World Cup 26™ fixtures: Group stage, a quarter-final and the third-place play-off
A 350 million dollar rebuild in 2016 gave Hard Rock Stadium a shade canopy and open sides made for Miami's heat, on top of a resume that already held six Super Bowls. The venue carries into the knockouts and stages the third-place play-off, the last match before the final itself.
Philadelphia Stadium – Lincoln Financial Field
Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
Capacity: ~69,300
Opened: 2003
Local team(s): Philadelphia Eagles (NFL)
FIFA World Cup 26™ fixtures: 6 matches, group stage and knockout rounds
The first event ever staged at Lincoln Financial Field, in 2003, was Manchester United against Barcelona, so serious football was there from day one. Gold Cup and Copa America Centenario nights have followed, all in front of a Philadelphia crowd not known for restraint. Six 2026 matches continue the run.
New York New Jersey Stadium – MetLife Stadium
Location: East Rutherford, New Jersey, USA
Capacity: ~87,157
Opened: 2010
Local team(s): New York Giants, New York Jets (NFL)
FIFA World Cup 26™ fixtures: 8 matches, group stage, knockouts and the Final
This is where it ends. MetLife Stadium stages the 2026 Final, the last of eight matches it holds, a short hop from Manhattan. A venue used to Super Bowls and stadium tours on the scale of Taylor Swift and the Rolling Stones now takes the single biggest fixture in football.
Boston Stadium – Gillette Stadium
Location: Foxborough, Massachusetts, USA
Capacity: ~70,000
Opened: 2002
Local team(s): New England Revolution (MLS), New England Patriots (NFL)
FIFA World Cup 26™ fixtures: Group stage through a quarter-final
Gillette Stadium is marked by a 218-foot lighthouse with a 360-degree observation deck, a New England signature you can see long before kickoff. Home to both the Revolution and the Patriots, it is built for big, loud nights. Its schedule runs deep, ending in a quarter-final.
Estadio Monterrey – Estadio BBVA
Location: Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico
Capacity: ~53,500
Opened: 2015
Local team(s): C.F. Monterrey (Rayados)
FIFA World Cup 26™ fixtures: 4 matches, group stage and knockout rounds
Known as the Steel Giant, Estadio BBVA opened in 2015 with its stands pulled tight to the pitch and a gap in one end framing the Cerro de la Silla, the saddle-shaped peak that defines Monterrey's skyline. Home to Rayados, it brings northern Mexico's intensity to its group and knockout matches.
Estadio Guadalajara – Estadio Akron
Location: Guadalajara (Zapopan), Jalisco, Mexico
Capacity: ~48,000
Opened: 2010
Local team(s): C.D. Guadalajara (Chivas)
FIFA World Cup 26™ fixtures: 4 matches, group stage
From outside, Estadio Akron reads almost like a crater, its bowl set into a landscaped embankment of grass. It is home to Chivas, one of Mexico's most-supported clubs, in a city that gave the world mariachi and tequila. Akron has already hosted a Copa Libertadores final and Pan American Games ceremonies, and now adds World Cup football.
Mexico City Stadium – Estadio Azteca
Location: Mexico City, Mexico
Capacity: ~87,523
Opened: 1966
Local team(s): Club América (Liga MX)
FIFA World Cup 26™ fixtures: The opening match plus group stage and knockout rounds
Estadio Azteca opens the 2026 World Cup and, in doing so, becomes the first stadium to host three of them. It held the finals of 1970 and 1986, the stage for Pelé's football and for Maradona's two goals against England. Home to Club América and set high on the Mexico City plateau, it returns as the closest thing the sport has to a cathedral.
