Key facts about the 2026 venues

  • Estadio Azteca made history. Mexico City's stadium became the first to host matches at three men's World Cups (1970, 1986 and 2026). It also staged the 1970 and 1986 finals.
  • Roofs and climate control. Four venues have retractable roofs: AT&T Stadium (Dallas), Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta), NRG Stadium (Houston) and BC Place (Vancouver). SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles has a fixed translucent canopy but is open at the sides. The other venues are open-air.
  • Natural grass. Eight stadiums that normally use artificial turf had natural grass installed for the tournament: Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, New York New Jersey, Seattle and Vancouver. Methods varied by venue, from grass grown off-site to temporary systems with irrigation and grow lights.
  • Largest and smallest. Estadio Azteca (80,824) and MetLife Stadium (80,663) had the largest tournament capacities; BMO Field in Toronto (43,036) was the smallest.
  • Heat. Summer heat was a recurring concern at open-air venues. The Round of 16 match between France and Paraguay in Philadelphia, for example, was played in extreme heat.

Visiting the stadiums after the World Cup

All 16 venues remain in regular use. Most U.S. stadiums are home to NFL teams, BMO Field and BC Place host MLS and Canadian football, and the three Mexican stadiums are home to Liga MX clubs. Check each stadium's official website for tours and event schedules.
