A tour of the 16 host stadiums

The 16 host stadiums for World Cup 2026 span three countries and four time zones. Mexico's three venues — Estadio Azteca, Estadio Akron, and Estadio BBVA — bring tournament heritage. Canada's two — BMO Field in Toronto and BC Place in Vancouver — both required temporary capacity expansions. The eleven United States venues range from the dome-roofed AT&T Stadium and SoFi Stadium to open-air giants like MetLife and Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Surface preparation has been the dominant story: every NFL turf venue is being retrofitted with hybrid grass to meet FIFA's natural-surface mandate.
