The FIFA World Cup 2026 will feature 48 teams competing across 16 host cities in the United States, Canada, and Mexico from June 11 to July 19, 2026. Atlanta, Georgia, has been confirmed as a Semifinal Host, with matches played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, a 75,000-seat expandable venue serving as the home of Atlanta United FC since 2017. FIFA confirmed Atlanta among 11 U.S. host venues on June 16, 2022, alongside Toronto and Vancouver in Canada and Guadalajara, Monterrey, and Mexico City. The venue previously hosted the 2018 MLS Cup, Super Bowl LIII in February 2019, and the 2019 College Football Playoff National Championship, demonstrating operational readiness for a tournament of this scale. According to FIFA's host city evaluation framework, Mercedes-Benz Stadium's retractable roof and proximity to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport factored into its semifinal designation.
