The FIFA World Cup is on its way to the US and most of North America for the 2026 tournament. Stadiums are getting prepared to host the world’s largest sporting event through new renovations, stadium extensions and even the construction of new stadiums to host a lot of in-house viewers.
We’ve got you covered, if you wonder what states and cities some World Cup games may be coming to! Let’s break down the most popular 2026 World Cup venues, including where the games will occur.
As one of the three Eastern regions on this list to host the FIFA 2026 World Cup in America (there are plenty more we won’t get to in this article) Atlanta is one of the special sites where onlookers will be able to watch the highest quality international soccer that only comes around every four years.
In this upcoming global soccer tournament, Atlanta hopes to introduce their state-of-the-art technology to showcase their incredibly refined stadium right in time for the fifth, eighth, 11th, 14th and final days of World Cup group stage matches. In addition, Atlanta will host one of the semifinal matches during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Up next on the highly anticipated FIFA 2026 World Cup venue list is the home of the New England Patriots and Revolution, Gillette Stadium, located in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
Boston is another one of the eastern cities with the capability to host a large number of people for the 2026 World Cup, specifically during the 3rd, 6th, 9th, 13th and 16th match day of ongoing group stage games. In addition, Gillette Stadium will host the 2nd day of Round of 32 games and the first day of the quarter-finals, so get your tickets as soon as they’re available.
Where would the FIFA 2026 World Cup be without games taking place in one of the most densely populated cities in the world? After gaining experience through hosting 1994 FIFA World Cup matches, MetLife Stadium, in East Rutherford, New Jersey, will be a hotspot for the 2026 tournament. Not only is this one of the most spectacular stadiums in the US, but it’s one of the largest.
This time, the New York/New Jersey joint stadium will host the 3rd, 6th, 12th, 14th and final day of group stage matches, as well as the 3rd day of Round of 32 games, 2nd day of Round of 16 games, in addition to being the sole site for the FIFA 2026 World Cup Final.
The massive Arlington-built stadium, home of the most popular NFL team known as the Dallas Cowboys since 2009, is one of the few central region cities to have the privilege of hosting many of the upcoming 2026 World Cup games. Specifically, Dallas Stadium will hold the 4th, 7th, 12th, 15th, and final day of group stage matches along with the 3rd and final day of Round of 32 games, 3rd day of Round of 16 games, and one of the two semifinal bouts.
When it comes to viewing a soccer game from one of the most well-sought-after stadiums in American football, AT&T stadium will have lucky fans locked in for the experience of a lifetime.
While we can’t get to all hosting sites for the FIFA 2026 World Cup in one article, we’ll conclude it with one of the most pristinely built newer stadiums known as SoFi Stadium, home of the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams and Chargers.
Erected in 2020 with a cost of just under $6 billion, this top-of-the-line stadium will serve as one of the best hotspots in the western region for the 2026 World Cup, as it was practically berthed for these types of sporting events. You can catch 2nd, 5th, 8th, 11th and 15th-day group stage games from the Inglewood-based stadium, as well as the 1st and 4th day of Round of 32 games, and the 2nd day of quarterfinals.
