The stadium catalogue

A scannable guide to the arenas at the heart of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Sixteen cities across the United States, Canada and Mexico will share 104 matches — here is how the venues compare on size, roof and character.

The expanded tournament spreads the football wider than ever. A supporter following Spain, Portugal or Croatia through the group stage might cross a continent; one tracking Canada or Mexico can stay closer to home. Use the filters to explore by roof type and scale.

Reading the catalogue. Capacities reflect the football configuration, which typically trims a stadium's concert figure. Roof type shapes everything from kick-off times to acoustics — a closed lid can add several decibels to the roar that greets a goal.
