Host city guides
Los Angeles
USA
SoFi Stadium
Los Angeles hosted the opening match and stays on the schedule into the quarter-finals, with SoFi Stadium in Inglewood as the venue. Direct flights from most of the world land at LAX, and the city handles big crowds better than its reputation suggests as long as you build each day around one area.

New York / New Jersey
USA
MetLife Stadium
New York and New Jersey host the final on July 19 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford. Most visitors stay in Manhattan or on the Jersey waterfront and ride NJ Transit out to the stadium, a trip that takes longer than the map suggests on match days.

Mexico City

Estadio Azteca
Mexico City pairs the history of Estadio Azteca, the first stadium to host matches at three World Cups, with some of the best value of any host city. Food, transit, and neighborhoods like Roma and Condesa make it easy to fill the days between matches.

Dallas
USA
AT&T Stadium
Dallas hosts a semi-final on July 14 at AT&T Stadium, which actually sits in Arlington, roughly halfway between Dallas and Fort Worth. There is no rail link to the stadium, so plan around driving, rideshare, or official shuttles from the start.

Miami
USA
Hard Rock Stadium
Miami still has two big dates left: a quarter-final during the July 9-11 window and the third-place match on July 18, both at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. The stadium sits well north of the beach, so decide early whether your base prioritizes nightlife or matchday convenience.

Toronto
CAN
BMO Field
Toronto is Canada's biggest host city, with BMO Field on the lakefront a short streetcar or GO train ride from downtown. It is one of the easiest stops of the tournament to manage without a car, and the summer patio scene makes it a lively base for following the knockout rounds.
