The Final and the earlier matches will be held at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, which for the duration of FIFA World Cup 26™ will adopt a new venue name — New York New Jersey Stadium.
FIFA World Cup 26™ will be the biggest sporting event ever — three Host Countries, 16 Host Cities, 48 teams, and 104 matches will unite an entire continent to showcase a momentous new tournament format. With more countries, cities, teams, and games, FIFA World Cup 26™ will be the most inclusive tournament ever, engaging millions of fans in-person at 16 unique stadiums, as well as billions of viewers worldwide. The opening match will take place on June 11, 2026, and the tournament will culminate with the Final at New York New Jersey Stadium on July 19, 2026, complemented by unprecedented fan experiences throughout the NYNJ region.
FIFA World Cup 26™ matches played at New York New Jersey Stadium, including the Final, are projected to generate billions of dollars in economic impact for the NYNJ region, supporting thousands of jobs and bringing over one million visitors.
