16 venues across the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
The 2026 tournament is spread across sixteen stadiums in three host countries. This page groups venues by country and links each stadium to hosted matches, city context, capacity, and location details.
Venue size and location help explain the rhythm of the tournament. Some stadiums host only group-stage matches, while others are tied to knockout rounds, travel clusters, or high-profile match windows.
No venue is knockout-only in the current schedule: 15 of the 16 stadiums host at least one knockout match after also appearing in the group stage. Estadio Akron in Guadalajara is the only group-stage-only venue.
The United States, Canada, and Mexico each shape the tournament experience differently. Grouping venues by country helps fans understand travel geography before looking at individual matchups.
Knockout routes are not just team paths. They are also city and stadium paths, which affects rest, travel, and the way fans follow a possible champion.
A venue page becomes more useful when paired with the fixture list. Together they show not only who plays, but where and when each match fits into the wider tournament.
