Practical guide — 2026 tournament logistics
- All 16 venues are existing NFL, MLS or Liga MX grounds — every artificial surface is being converted to natural grass overlay to meet FIFA requirements.
- The tournament runs 11 June – 19 July 2026, 39 days, 104 matches across 48 teams (up from 32 in 2022).
- Estadio Azteca becomes the first stadium in history to host matches in three FIFA World Cups (1970, 1986, 2026).
- Semi-finals are staged at AT&T Stadium (Arlington) and Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta); the third-place playoff is at Hard Rock Stadium (Miami).
