Football 2026 Host Cities: Where the Matches Will Be Played
The 2026 global football tournament will be held across 16 cities in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. Here is a guide to the tournament venues.
For the first time in history, the 2026 tournament will be hosted by three nations simultaneously. The United States, Canada, and Mexico will share duties across 16 cities, creating a geographically ambitious sporting event. With 48 teams competing, the expanded format means more matches, more nations, and more stories.
In the United States, matches will be played in iconic football markets including New York/New Jersey, Los Angeles, Dallas, Miami, San Francisco, Seattle, Boston, Atlanta, Kansas City, and Philadelphia. The New York/New Jersey venue is scheduled to host the final and is among the larger venues in North America.
Canada brings Toronto and Vancouver to the host-city lineup, introducing two vibrant North American cities to tournament football for the first time. Both stadiums have undergone significant upgrades to meet international standards.
Mexico contributes three legendary venues: Estadio Azteca in Mexico City (which previously hosted finals in 1970 and 1986), Estadio Akron in Guadalajara, and Estadio BBVA in Monterrey. These venues carry decades of football history within their walls.
