2026 World Cup final to be played at MetLife Stadium, not AT&T Stadium; Atlanta, Dallas get semis

The final for the 2026 World Cup will take place at MetLife Stadium in the New York suburb of East Rutherford, N.J., FIFA announced Sunday, setting up the possibility that the match will be one of the most attended in the tournament's history.

The NFL venue reportedly beat out AT&T Stadium in the Dallas suburb of Arlington for the distinction. Tournament organizers told FIFA that MetLife Stadium can seat around 87,000, and a soldout stadium would land within the top 10 attendances for a World Cup.

The U.S. men's national team will begin their World Cup campaign on June 12 at SoFi Stadium in the Los Angeles suburb of Inglewood, while co-hosts Mexico will have the tournament's opening match on June 11 at Mexico City's Estadio Azteca. Fellow World Cup co-hosts Canada will play their first match of the competition at Toronto's BMO Field on June 12.
