Sixteen cities share the games, each with an NFL-sized stadium.
United States (11): Atlanta (Mercedes-Benz Stadium), Boston (Gillette Stadium), Dallas (AT&T Stadium), Houston (NRG Stadium), Kansas City (Arrowhead Stadium), Los Angeles (SoFi Stadium), Miami (Hard Rock Stadium), New York/New Jersey (MetLife Stadium), Philadelphia (Lincoln Financial Field), San Francisco Bay Area (Levi's Stadium) and Seattle (Lumen Field).
Mexico (3): Mexico City (Estadio Azteca), Guadalajara and Monterrey.
Canada (2): Toronto (BMO Field) and Vancouver (BC Place).
Two venues carry the marquee moments: Estadio Azteca opens the tournament on June 11, and MetLife Stadium hosts the final on July 19. If you recognize most of these stadiums, that's because many are the regular homes of NFL teams.
Most U.S. venues are NFL stadiums you already know — MetLife is home to the Giants and Jets, SoFi to the Rams and Chargers, AT&T Stadium to the Cowboys. For the World Cup they swap the gridiron for a grass soccer pitch.
