We now know which cities and stadiums in the United States, Canada and Mexico will host games to the 2026 World Cup.
At a gala, globally televised presentation Thursday from Rockefeller Center in New York City, FIFA revealed the 16 winning municipalities and venues in the three North American countries.
The list breaks down as follows:
Canada
* Toronto (BMO Field)
* Vancouver (BC Place)
Mexico
* Guadalajara (Estadio Akron)
* Mexico City (Estadio Azteca)
* Monterrey (Estadio BBVA)
United States
* Atlanta (Mercedes-Benz Stadium)
* Boston (Gillette Stadium)
* Dallas (AT&T Stadium)
* Houston (NRG Stadium)
* Los Angeles (SoFi Stadium)
* Kansas City (Arrowhead Stadium)
* Miami (Hard Rock Stadium)
* New York/New Jersey (MetLife Stadium)
* Philadelphia (Lincoln Financial Field)
* San Francisco/Bay Area (Levi’s Stadium)
* Seattle (Lumen Field)
Why are these the picks?
The 16 venues are the most ever for a single World Cup, which makes sense. Expanding from 32 to 48 teams after Qatar 2022 this fall, the 2026 event will be the largest ever and first to be jointly hosted by three nations. The last time the tournament was held in North America, only nine cities held games.
