The 2026 FIFA World Cup matches and locations have been announced. Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Gillette Stadium in Boston, Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, and AT&T Stadium in Dallas will host multiple matches. The final will be held at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, drawing mixed reactions. New York will also host the final. SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, Lumen Field in Seattle, and Levi's Stadium in San Francisco are among the other venues. The tournament will feature 48 teams and 104 matches across 16 cities in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
FIFA doesn't allow any non-FIFA branding, so every stadium hosting a World Cup match in 2026 has had to be renamed for the tournament. The final will be held at MetLife Stadium, and it's been given one of the most ridiculous titles imaginable. READ: https://t.co/Cqim9ale2F https://t.co/sOBiE91GKO
