Where is the 2026 World Cup Final being played?

The 2026 FIFA World Cup Final takes place at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on 19 July 2026.

Which city will host the most matches in 2026?

Dallas (Arlington) hosts the most games, with 9 at AT&T Stadium, including a semi-final.

Is the 2026 World Cup format different from 2022?

Yes. The tournament shifts to 12 groups of four teams each, replacing the previous 8 groups of four. An additional knockout stage, the round of 32, is introduced, requiring teams to win 8 games to claim the title, compared to 7 before.

Will fans have to travel across all three countries?

To minimise travel, FIFA has organised matches into three zones: Western (Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco Bay Area, LA), Central (Guadalajara, Mexico City, Monterrey, Houston, Dallas, Kansas City), and Eastern (Atlanta, Miami, Toronto, Boston, Philadelphia, New Jersey).

That said, as teams advance to the knockout rounds, they may need to cross borders for the USA-based quarter-finals and semi-finals.
