MetLife Stadium to Host Iconic FIFA World Cup Matches in 2026
Fans in the tri-state area are in for a treat as New Jersey's MetLife Stadium is set to host six high-profile matches during next year's FIFA World Cup. The official schedule has been announced, and Brazil will take on Morocco on June 13, 2026, at 6 p.m. ET, in one of the earliest quarterfinal matchups.
Later that month, France will face Senegal on June 16, followed by a showdown between Norway and Senegal on June 22. Ecuador will square off against Germany on June 25, while Panama will meet England on June 27 at 5 p.m. ET. The World Cup Final is scheduled to take place on July 19 at 3 p.m., marking one of the most anticipated matches in soccer history.
For fans looking to attend these high-profile games, ticket sales are set to begin with a Random Selection Draw on December 11 at 11 a.m. Eastern time. However, unlike previous phases, FIFA has announced that it will sell tickets at a fixed price rather than using dynamic pricing, which allows prices to fluctuate based on demand.
The 2026 World Cup promises to be an exciting tournament, with the United States team set to face Paraguay in their opening match on June 12. If Lionel Messi participates and Argentina reaches the quarterfinals, fans may witness a historic matchup between him and Cristiano Ronaldo at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.
