Host Cities and Stadiums
The 104 matches are spread across 16 cities in the United States, Canada and Mexico. FIFA uses neutral venue names during the tournament, so they differ from the usual commercial names — Los Angeles Stadium is SoFi Stadium, and New York/New Jersey Stadium is MetLife Stadium.
For the full venue list, capacities and city details, see our host cities guide, the complete stadiums guide and the host locations overview. The tournament opened in Mexico City and ends in New York/New Jersey — compare Mexico City hotels and New York hotels if you are travelling to a match.
