Sixteen stadiums across Canada, Mexico, and the United States will host the 2026 FIFA World Cup, offering a sweeping showcase of the continent's most celebrated sporting arenas. Among the highlights are Mexico City's Estadio Azteca (a storied 83,000-capacity ground that hosted both Pelé's 1970 triumph and Maradona's 1986 glory), which will stage the tournament's opening match between Mexico and South Africa, as well as architecturally acclaimed modern venues such as Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium and Dallas's AT&T Stadium. The expanded 48-team tournament marks the first World Cup co-hosted across three nations, and the varied roster of venues — from Vancouver's BC Place to Boston's Gillette Stadium — underscores the breadth of football culture now embedded across North America.
