For the first time in history, the FIFA World Cup will be hosted by three nations: the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Across these three massive countries, 16 vibrant cities have been chosen to host the 104 matches of the expanded 48-team tournament.
The United States Venues
The US will host the lion’s share of the matches across 11 cities. From the glitz and glamour of Los Angeles (SoFi Stadium) and the iconic skyline of New York/New Jersey (MetLife Stadium) to the passionate sports culture in Philadelphia, Boston, and Dallas. Fans traveling to the US can expect massive, state-of-the-art NFL stadiums and incredible fan zones.
Mexico’s Historic Grounds
Mexico brings unparalleled passion and history to the tournament. The legendary Estadio Azteca in Mexico City will become the first stadium to host matches in three different World Cups (1970, 1986, 2026). Guadalajara and Monterrey will also host games, offering fans a rich cultural experience and phenomenal local cuisine.
Canada’s Debut as Host
Canada steps onto the World Cup hosting stage with two incredible cities: Toronto and Vancouver. BMO Field in Toronto and BC Place in Vancouver will provide a scenic and diverse backdrop for the matches. Both cities are known for their multiculturalism, ensuring fans from all over the world feel right at home.
Travel Tips
Given the vast distances between host cities, planning your travel early is crucial. Utilize budget airlines for cross-country flights, and consider booking accommodations near public transit hubs, as stadium parking will be extremely limited.
