2026 World Cup Host Cities — Sixteen Cities,
One Continent,
One Cup.
The biggest World Cup in history is coming to North America. For the first time, three nations will share the tournament — 48 teams, 104 matches, and 16 host cities stretching from the Pacific Northwest to the Gulf Coast.
A Cup Without Borders
When FIFA awarded the 2026 World Cup to the joint North American bid back in 2018, it set in motion the most ambitious staging of the tournament ever attempted. It is the first men's World Cup since 2002 to be hosted across more than one country — and the first ever shared by three.
The 16 host cities are organized into three regional clusters rather than strict national boundaries, cutting down on travel for teams and fans. The Western region links the Pacific coast with Guadalajara; the Central region anchors the heartland and Mexico's two northern hubs; and the Eastern region runs up the Atlantic seaboard from Miami to Toronto.

Stadium capacities range from intimate to colossal. Dallas Stadium (AT&T Stadium) is the tournament's largest, while Toronto's BMO Field is the most compact. New York/New Jersey's MetLife Stadium gets the prize fixture — the Final.
