Summary
Eight 2026 World Cup matches will be played at New York-New Jersey Stadium, capped by the July 19 final — the tournament’s biggest game.
The venue’s slate includes five group-stage matches, a round-of-32 game on June 30 and a round-of-16 match on July 5; only Dallas will host more total games, with nine.
Brazil vs. Morocco, France vs. Senegal and Ecuador vs. Germany are among the headline group-stage fixtures assigned to the stadium.
The final gives the New York area a prize it missed in 1994, when the World Cup decider went to Pasadena despite the region hosting matches.
MetLife Stadium, opened in 2010, has recently staged major soccer events including the 2016 Copa America final and the 2025 Club World Cup final.
