Matches for the 2026 World Cup are being held at 16 stadiums across the United States, Canada and Mexico. Many of the stadiums have been renamed by FIFA for the duration of the tournament because the companies that paid for the naming rights are not FIFA sponsors.Arrowhead Stadium (called Kansas City Stadium by FIFA)Capacity: 73,000 (FIFA says its listed figures are subject to change)Location: Kansas City, MissouriMatches: Argentina vs. Algeria (June 16), Ecuador vs. Curaçao (June 20), Tunisia vs. Netherlands (June 25), Algeria vs. Austria (June 27), round of 16 (July 3), quarterfinal (July 11)What to know: Opened in 1972, the stadium has been formally named GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium since 2021. The home of the NFL’s Chiefs since 1972, it is 8.5 miles from downtown Kansas City, Missouri, and has no rail access. The Kansas City host committee announced $15 round trip shuttle buses on match days. The venue is adjacent to Kauffman Stadium, home of MLB’s Kansas City Royals. Arrowhead was to have hosted the 2015 Super Bowl but the game was relocated after the failure to enact a sales-tax proposal that would have funded a rolling roof for the two venues. According to Guinness World Records, the stadium set a mark for the loudest outdoor sporting event crowd at 142.2 decibels for a Chiefs game against the New England Patriots on Sept. 29, 2014. The stadium also was home to MLS’s Kansas City team from 1996 to 2007. The Chiefs intend to move in 2031 to a planned domed stadium to be built in Kansas City, Kansas, near the Kansas Speedway.
