2026 FIFA World Cup Stadiums

Interested how they'll format this with an expanded 48 teams and how much travel will be involved for supporters to follow their respective teams.

[@tylerm727]

I have a feeling it might be each group in one location considering there are 16 groups and 16 locations

[@johnmaster3748]

The format is already known (tweaks likely around travel). While Tyler may prove correct [16 groups, 16 cities; no need to travel], I think the original plan was for groups to play in cities as close to each other as feasible on the theory that travel has always been part of the WC process. Hopping multiple time zones, however, won't likely kick in til the later rounds. 16 groups of three means every team plays two games and every group will have three match days (that one team will sit out). The worst aspect of the expansion to 48, for me, is that the two teams playing Match Day 3 will know whether a draw gets them through while the other member of their group can do nothing to stave off elimination while watching the other two teams pass the ball back and forth for 90 minutes. Similarly, if A beats B, then C beats B, then the A-C match has no stakes (aside from bracket slots). Three team groups will yield more of these dead rubber matches than the four team groups did. Top two advance to the new, single-elimination round of 32. Thus, the Round of 16 will be each team's fourth game just as in the 32-team format. Later rounds staged entirely in the US. I believe the format will be bracketed so that Mexico (for sure) and Canada play in-country through at least the Round of 16 (four games).

[@johnmaster3748]

​@@tylerm727 16 cities also works for the Round of 32. 16 venues, every host city potentially gets an elimination game.

[@DonGivani]

You have to look in pairs and you will see there won't be a lot of travel. But as Montagliani mentioned 16 groups of 3 , all in one city

[@BrianStorm742]

@@johnmaster3748 the group stage will suck. We're gonna see a lot of questionable draws. I do like the extra KO round. But personally I would've preferred a two-stage tournament with the world's top-16 teams receiving a bye to the second stage, which would then be the current format.

One thing people will appreciate about the stadiums in Dallas, Houston and Atlanta is that they are all indoors and climate controlled. Considering the dreadful summer heat in Texas and the intense summer humidity in Atlanta, the fans and players will appreciate it- I guarantee the roofs on those stadiums will not open during this WC- they don’t open for the NFL season until late in the year, when it isn’t so hot. Kansas City, Miami, Guadalajara and the northeastern cities- Toronto and Boston less so might be a problem, and Monterrey- unless they play the games in the morning or at night will be absolutely dreadful. Also- SoFi Stadium isn’t an indoor stadium like the properly indoor stadiums are- its roof is more like a canopy. You’re still outside in that stadium- and unlike the Rose Bowl, which sees intense heat in summer SoFi doesn’t see intense heat because of its proximity to the ocean. LA is in a hilly desert and has a dry Mediterranean climate. The weather difference between areas in LA within 5 miles from the Pacific and areas at least 25 miles from the Pacific is quite big. The weather in areas within about 5 miles from the Pacific doesn’t often go past 80 degrees, and the further away you go from the Pacific there the hotter it gets. Pasadena, where the Rose Bowl is often sees summer temps past 100 degrees and is only 25 miles from the Pacific.

The first ever WC to be co-hosted by more than 2 countries and the first, although partially, taking place in the US since 1994. I like the idea of a sports tournament being held throughout North America, let alone when it's the biggest global sporting event! It would be amazing to follow the WC along from the group stages right up to the knock-out phase though I bet it'll be pricey, especially for foreigners like me, to book flights, find accomodations etc ... but it would be one heck of an experience for sure!

In the United States the stadiums we have are just incredible. There are like ten other stadiums that could have made it but their cities didn't even bid. Eg. Las vegas, Arizona, Minnesota.

Also worth noting that none of the stadiums that hosted the 1994 FIFA World Cup will be used for the 2026 World Cup. The stadiums from the 1994 World Cup either: A. Have been torn down/abandoned B. In cities that did not make the cut/were not part of the bid (Chicago and Orlando) C. Are in areas that made the cut, but said areas opted for newer stadiums (San Francisco, LA, Dallas)

[@hmdwgf]

The only ones that still exist from that tournament (at least in their near original forms) are the Rose Bowl, the Cotton Bowl, and the Citrus Bowl. The Cotton Bowl has been expanded by 50 percent and the Citrus Bowl now has permanent seating in its lower row. -Stanford Stadium in the Bay Area and Soldier Field in Chicago were completely re-modeled and look nothing like they did in 1994. Stanford Stadium has been almost completely rebuilt and it’s capacity has been downgraded by 30 percent. -Giants Stadium was torn down and replaced while MetLife Stadium was built next to it. Same thing with Foxboro Stadium/Gillette Stadium -RFK Stadium in DC and the Pontiac Silverdome near Detroit are both in total disrepair and are slated to be demolished.

[@Artemis70588]

Perhaps the only stadiums that go back to 1994 are Metlife in New Jersey (which rises on the ashes of the historic Giant Stadium) and Gillette Stadium (which rises on the ashes of Foxoboro Stadium, the stadium of Maradona's last goal for the national team, against Greece).

@@hus390 What could your rationale for this be, other than Americocentrism? All three were part of the bid and all locations and venues should be considered equally, regardless of nationality.
