2026 FIFA World Cup Schedule Shows MetLife Stadium Will Host The Final







Earlier this month, FIFA held a live ceremony to announce the match schedule for the 2026 World Cup. The 104-game World Cup tournament will be held in Mexico, Canada and the United States and will last from June 11 until July 19. Here is what fans need to know about the tournament calendar.

Host Cities

The tournament will be played in sixteen host cities — two in Canada, three in Mexico, and eleven in the U.S. The cities are split into three different regions to help cut down on team travel time, although given the distances involved, travel will still be a central theme of this World Cup.
The Western Region comprises Vancouver, Seattle, the Bay Area and Los Angeles. The Central Region includes all three Mexican venues (Guadalajara, Mexico City, Monterrey) as well as Dallas, Houston and Kansas City. In the Eastern Region teams could be traveling as far north as Toronto and as far south as Miami, with Boston, New York / New Jersey, Philadelphia and Atlanta in between.
Dallas will host nine games, the most of any host city. Atlanta, New York / New Jersey, and Los Angeles follow closely behind hosting eight games, while Guadalajara and Monterrey will be hosting the fewest — four.

Group Stage

The first game of the tournament will be held on Thursday, June 11th in Mexico City at the Estadio Azteca. The legendary Mexican stadium, which played host to finals in which both Pele and Maradona won, will once again be a centerpiece of a World Cup. Later that same day, the second game of the tournament will be played in Guadalajara.
The first games in Canada and the U.S. will be played the following day, June 12th, in Toronto and then Los Angeles. The rest of the 72 group stage games — more than the total games played in Qatar, 64 — will be completed by Saturday, June 27th.



Fifteen of the sixteen host cities will host at least one knockout game, with Guadalajara being the only host to miss out. The AT&T Stadium in Dallas will host the most knockout games, with two Round of 32 games, one Round of 16 game and the first of the two semi-finals. The other semi-final will be in Atlanta at the Mercedes-Benz Arena, and the third-place game will be at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
The final of the 2026 FIFA World Cup will be at the much-maligned MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Hosting the final is a big win for the Tri-State Area, as there was much speculation that the final would be in Dallas. In the end, the allure of New York City, and its favorable time zone won out.
Both Dallas and L.A. made no secret that they wished to host the final, with L.A. also stating interest in hosting the opening game. Neither has gotten what they wanted although both will play a central role in the tournament. While Dallas was appeased by receiving the most games in the tournament, L.A. gets the honor of hosting the first game on U.S. soil and the first and third U.S. men’s national team games.
