World Cup 2026: New Jersey to Host Key Group Matches and Final at MetLife Stadium

The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with New York/New Jersey serving as a major hub. MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, will host multiple group-stage matches, including games featuring top teams such as Brazil, Morocco, Germany, and England. The schedule includes matches on June 13, June 16, June 22, June 25, and June 27, with the tournament culminating in the final at the same venue. Notably, MetLife Stadium will be temporarily renamed 'New York New Jersey Stadium' during the event due to FIFA regulations prohibiting corporate-sponsored venue names. The region's hosting role elevates its global profile, attracting international fans and supporting a wide array of soccer matches, including high-profile group games with teams like France, Senegal, Norway, Ecuador, and Panama. The tournament’s expanded format features 48 teams and 104 games across three countries, with the final attracting worldwide attention. The schedule and team matchups are designed to minimize travel and optimize exposure, with the final match set to be the world's largest sporting event.
