US World Cup stadiums are getting a makeover — and it's a major change

FIFA renamed 11 U.S. venues with neutral city names to avoid sponsor conflicts during the 2026 tournament, officials said.

  • Major United States stadiums are dropping corporate branding to comply with FIFA World Cup regulations, aligning venue names with official tournament sponsor requirements for the 2026 event.
  • The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be held across 16 stadiums in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, with eleven of these venues located in the United States requiring temporary name adjustments.
  • MetLife Stadium in New Jersey is now "New York New Jersey Stadium," while the AT&T Stadium in Texas has become "Dallas Stadium" for tournament play.
  • SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, has become Los Angeles Stadium, and Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara is now San Francisco Bay Area Stadium for World Cup matches.
  • Attendees should not be confused if they see unfamiliar stadium names on their tickets, as these temporary changes are necessary to meet official FIFA World Cup branding policies.
