NFL stadiums that will host 2026 FIFA World Cup matches

Here is a list of the NFL stadiums that will be hosting games during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

FIFA announced June 16 that the 2026 FIFA World Cup will be held in North America. The games will be the first time since 2002 that multiple nations will provide host cities.

Mexico will be hosting for the first time since 1986. The United States hosted in 1994. Canada gets its first crack at hosting the men’s tournament.

Of course, the United 2026 bid may not have prevailed if not for help from the NFL. With 11 of the 16 sites being the venues for NFL teams, it really helped make the case for bringing the FIFA World Cup to North America.

Here is a list of the NFL venues that will host games in 2026.

NFL stadium power rankings: Which team has the best home field?

The NFL has 30 venues within its realm with two of them shared by two teams. Here is a ranking of all of the stadiums across the league.

Although NFL coaches would like you to believe that they can play the game in any venue, or even in the parking lot or on the moon, the stadiums are as much a part of the game as the players themselves.

The stadiums bring their own unique characteristics to the sport. After all, it isn’t called “home-field advantage” for nothing.

In this ranking of NFL stadiums, such factors as fan participation are taken into consideration as well as architectural design and climate.

Football venues have come a long way since they had to share with baseball diamonds. Here is how far NFL stadiums have come.

The NFL’s stadiums have been reduced from 31 to 30, but it is not a bad thing as the Rams and Chargers will now go the route of the Giants and Jets by sharing a stadium.

Rams and Chargers will share SoFi Stadium in southern California, while the Raiders will debut their new digs in Las Vegas soon as well.

The Athletic went about the task of ranking all 30 NFL stadiums and the Eagles Lincoln Financial Field landed in the top-10.

1. U.S. Bank Stadium (Vikings)

2. CenturyLink Field (Seahawks)

3. AT&T Stadium (Cowboys)

4. Lambeau Field (Packers)

5. Arrowhead Stadium (Chiefs)

6. Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Falcons)

7. Soldier Field (Bears)

8. State Farm Stadium (Cardinals)

9. Lincoln Financial Field (Eagles)

10. Heinz Field (Steelers)

11. Empower Field at Mile High (Broncos)

12. Levi’s Stadium (49ers)

13. Lucas Oil Stadium (Colts)

14. Mercedes-Benz Superdome (Saints)

15. Raymond James Stadium (Buccaneers)

16. M&T Bank Stadium (Ravens)

30. TIAA Bank Field (Jaguars)

It’s an interesting ranking with each NFL stadium actually landing one vote on the top-five list and some stadiums landing a vote on both lists.
