With the national teams from Brazil, France, Germany and England all heading to the region – alongside the 2026 FIFA World Cup final itself – New York and New Jersey are preparing to host an action-packed summer of football.
The 80,000-seat MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford's Meadowlands Sports Complex will host eight matches during the tournament, including group-stage clashes such as Brazil vs Morocco, France vs Senegal and England vs Panama, plus knockout fixtures and the final on 19 July.
Already familiar with hosting global spectacles – from the NFL Super Bowl to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour – the stadium is once again set to become the centre of the sporting world as football fans descend on the region from across the globe.
