The FIFA has officially announced the venues that will host the World Cup matches in 2026. The final will be played at the MetLife Stadium, the venue that hosts the football games of the New York Giants and the New York Jets. A stadium, which can accommodate about 80,000 people and is located in New Jersey near New York, will be the backdrop to the most important event in football. The event is beginning to take shape, with the matches being iterative and will be played between Mexico, Canada and the United States.
When it starts
On June 11, 2026, Mexico will inaugurate the World Cup at home in Mexico City, in the legendary Azteca Stadium. The first three host teams have already automatically qualified, while the reigning champions Argentina will have to play their qualification in the South American group. The following day, USA and Canada will play, with the former taking the field in Los Angeles at the SoFi Stadium, and the latter at the Bmo Field in Toronto.
The stadium that will be most used during the tournament is the At&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The home of the Dallas Cowboys will host as many as 9 matches and can accommodate between 80,000 and 105,000 matches. Over the past few years, it has hosted various concerts, as well as football games and wrestling events.
The World Cup final is played at 15 or 16 local time, while the other matches could be played later in the evening or between 18 and 21. However, what is certain is that the matches will take place during the Italian night.
