Every World Cup host city and stadium in 2026

The 2026 World Cup is the most geographically ambitious tournament ever staged. For the first time in the competition's history, three nations are sharing hosting duties, Canada, Mexico, and the United States, across 16 cities and 16 venues. That spread covers thousands of miles of North America, from the west coast of Canada to the south-eastern tip of the United States. With 104 matches scheduled across 39 days, the tournament will be running across multiple time zones throughout, which is worth bearing in mind if you're following the sports betting markets and keeping track of kick-off times from the UK and Ireland.

The scale of the operation is unlike anything FIFA has attempted before. Groups stage fixtures will take place simultaneously across different countries, with teams potentially travelling vast distances between matches. If you want to follow how nations progress through the venues as the tournament develops, the World Cup Predictor 2026 is a useful way to map out potential routes to the final.

Here is a full breakdown of every host city at the 2026 World Cup, organised by country. For further detail on each venue, FIFA's official stadiums page has matchday guides and travel information for each location.

Canada - 2 cities

Canada are one of the three host nations and will stage matches across two cities at opposite ends of the country.

● Toronto
● Vancouver

It's Canada's first time hosting the World Cup, and their men's national team are also competing in the tournament for only the second time, having qualified as hosts. The two venues are separated by over 4,000 kilometres, underlining just how vast the hosting footprint is even within a single nation.

Mexico - 3 cities

Mexico host matches across three cities, continuing a relationship with the World Cup that stretches back decades.

● Guadalajara
● Mexico City
● Monterrey

Mexico previously hosted the tournament in 1970 and 1986, making 2026 their third time as a host nation, the only country to have done so three times. Mexico City staged the final on both previous occasions, in 1970 and 1986.

USA - 11 cities

The United States account for the largest share of host venues, with 11 of the 16 cities.

● Atlanta
● Boston
● Dallas
● Houston
● Kansas City
● Los Angeles
● Miami
● New York/New Jersey
● Philadelphia
● San Francisco Bay Area
● Seattle

The USA previously hosted the World Cup in 1994, when they reached the last 16 before losing to Brazil. The 11-city spread covers the east coast, west coast, and several major inland markets, with matches running across at least three time zones.

The final

New York/New Jersey hosts the final on 19 July, bringing the tournament to a close at one of the most recognisable sporting locations in North America. It will be the last fixture of a tournament that spans the entire continent above it.

16 cities, three countries, and one of the most logistically complex sporting events ever staged. The 2026 World Cup kicks off on 11 June, and the venues alone make it a tournament unlike any that has come before it.
