State Farm Stadium will not host 2026 FIFA World Cup matches, unlike many NFL stadiums

Eleven NFL stadiums will be used in the 2026 World Cup and three in the NFC West. State Farm Stadium, home of the Cardinals, will not.

In 2026, the FIFA World Cup will come to North America, with Mexico, Canada and the United States will all host games. Sixteen sites will host games in the tournament and 11 of those venues are NFL stadiums.

State Farm Stadium, the Arizona Cardinals’ home stadium, is not one of those 11 NFL venues to host a World Cup game. In fact, they will be the only team in the NFC West whose stadium will not be used.
