FIFA World Cup 2026 stadiums in the United States, Mexico and Canada

Since the 2018 FIFA Congress chose the United States, Mexico, and Canada to host the 2026 World Cup - officially presented as the United Bid - the three North American countries have been working to deliver the next edition of the most prestigious tournament of soccer in the world.

The 2026 World Cup will be the first to include 48 participating teams, instead of 32. Despite the confusion regarding the tournament format yet to be confirmed, the three host countries do not need to build new stadiums, contrary to the preparation process for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Some stadiums will take the opportunity to upgrade their facilities, including Mexico City's Estadio Azteca, Arlington's AT&T Stadium, and Toronto's BMO Field.

The Canadian stadium needs to almost triple its seats to meet FIFA's minimum capacity requirements: stadiums must have at least 40,000 seats. To host the quarterfinals, at least 60,000 seats and, for the opening or final, 80,000 seats.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup stadiums will be divided into sixteen cities: 11 in the United States, 3 in Mexico, and 2 in Canada.
