FIFA has announced the complete venue list and match schedule for the 2026 men’s World Cup, giving fans and teams a full picture of where the tournament will be played across the United States, Mexico and Canada.

The opening match is set for Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, one of the sport’s most iconic stadiums. FIFA also confirmed that the final will take place at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, closing out the expanded tournament on the U.S. East Coast.

The release of the schedule marks a major milestone in the buildup to the first World Cup hosted by three countries. With venues now confirmed, attention can shift to travel planning, ticket demand and the logistical demands of staging the biggest edition of the tournament yet.

FIFA’s announcement provides the most complete roadmap so far for the 2026 event, which will feature matches across North America and a larger field of competing nations than previous editions.
