WORLD CUP 2026: FIFA REVEALS RECORD 16 HOST CITIES AND STADIUMS

We currently know which urban communities and arenas in the United States, Canada and Mexico will have games to the 2026 World Cup.

At a function, worldwide broadcast show Thursday from Rockefeller Center in New York City, FIFA uncovered the 16 winning districts and settings in the three North American nations.

The list breaks down as follows:

Canada

* Toronto (BMO Field)
* Vancouver (BC Place)

Mexico

Guadalajara (Estadio Akron)
* Mexico City (Estadio Azteca)
* Monterrey (Estadio BBVA)

United States

Atlanta (Mercedes-Benz Stadium)
Boston (Gillette Stadium)
Dallas (AT&T Stadium)
Houston (NRG Stadium)
Los Angeles (SoFi Stadium)
Kansas City (Arrowhead Stadium)
Miami (Hard Rock Stadium)
New York/New Jersey (MetLife Stadium)
Philadelphia (Lincoln Financial Field)
San Francisco/Bay Area (Levi’s Stadium)
Seattle (Lumen Field)

For what reason are these the picks?

The 16 scenes are the most incredibly ever for a solitary World Cup, which seems OK. Growing from 32 to 48 groups after Qatar 2022 this fall, the 2026 occasion will be the biggest ever and first to mutually facilitate by three countries. The last time the competition was held in North America, just nine urban communities held games.

For 2026, three urban areas bid from Mexico. Guadalajara and Monterrey have both fabricated cutting edge arenas lately. Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, the main arena to arrange two World Cup finals, in 1970 and 1986, is one of the game’s actual basilicas. Four summers from now, it will end up being quick to have games in three competitions.

Three Canadian urban areas were in the running, however eventually, just Toronto and Vancouver were chosen, with Edmonton passing up a major opportunity. Vancouver returned in with the general mish-mash after Montreal, Canada’s second-biggest city, exited the running the previous summer. Vancouver notably facilitated the finale of the 2015 Women’s World Cup.

Who missed the cut?

In the U.S., Baltimore/Washington D.C, Cincinnati, Denver, Nashville and Orlando were ignored.

The huge amazement was Boston over the bid from Baltimore/D.C. Eventually, the country’s capital’s endeavors could have been wounded by strategies. After FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland, exited the running in April and converged with Baltimore’s offered, the arrangement was to have groups train in D.C. however, play matches over 40 minutes away.

In the mean time, Boston chances might have been supported by the way that Robert Kraft, a unique financial backer in Major League Soccer (and the proprietor of Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts) who additionally is close with FIFA president Gianni Infantino, was the public essence of their delicate.

Chicago, the third-biggest American city by populace after New York and Los Angeles, declined to offer. The long-lasting home of the U.S. Soccer Federation was the site of the World Cup opener in 1994.

For what reason are a few urban communities/settings grouped together?

Given the record-breaking size and extent of the 2026 World Cup, FIFA needed the scenes it decided to be in relative nearness to each other to ease travel for fans and groups, different sources told FOX Sports.

With 80 games altogether, that system checks out. A city, for example, Seattle help by the way that Vancouver is only hours away via vehicle. Same goes for Dallas and Houston and for the three determinations along the upper east passage, Philadelphia, New York/New Jersey and Boston. Toronto is an hour departure from those, with Atlanta and Miami addressing the southeast.

Indeed, even Thursday’s show was broken into districts. There are four host urban communities along the West Coast of the U.S. also, Canada, and Guadalajara is in western Mexico. Monterrey, the two Texan reps and Kansas City — which without a doubt profited from Chicago’s nonappearance — are bunched in the center piece of the landmass.
