The final and the biggest venues
The showpiece grounds are in the United States. MetLife Stadium in New York and New Jersey hosts the final on July 19, 2026, while AT&T Stadium in Dallas is the largest venue of all at around 94,000. Big-capacity homes like SoFi in Los Angeles, Mercedes-Benz in Atlanta and Levi’s in the San Francisco Bay Area are built for the later knockout rounds.
Estadio Azteca: the historic one
No venue carries more history than Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, which staged the opening match on June 11 between Mexico and South Africa. In 2026, the Azteca becomes the first stadium ever to host matches at three different World Cups, after 1970 and 1986, the tournaments of Pele and Diego Maradona.
