In a major announcement, FIFA has revealed that the final match of the 2026 World Cup will be held at MetLife Stadium in New York/New Jersey. The decision came after stiff competition, particularly from Dallas, and is a part of the joint hosting by the USA, Canada, and Mexico. The event, set for July 19, marks the culmination of the expanded 48-team tournament and emphasizes FIFA’s goal of creating the most inclusive and impactful World Cup. This decision positions MetLife Stadium, home to the NFL’s New York Giants and New York Jets, as a central venue for one of the most-watched sporting events globally.

Apart from the prestigious final in New York/New Jersey, other key host cities and stadiums for the 2026 World Cup have been unveiled. The tournament will kick off on June 11 at Mexico City’s iconic Azteca Stadium.
