11/25/2022 05:01 pm EST
Los Angeles - SoFi Stadium
This is no big surprise considering SoFi Stadium is one of the newer venues in the country. It opened in 2020 and is coming off hosting a Super Bowl. It will also host WrestleMania 39 next year as well as the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2028 Summer Olympics.
Atlanta - Mercedes-Benz Stadium
This is one of the biggest soccer venues in the world when it comes to attendance. Atlanta United has built a strong fanbase, so it was an easy decision to bring the World Cup to Atlanta.
Dallas - AT&T Stadium
AT&T Stadium has hosted its share of big events over the years. And with the stadium being able to hold 80,000 fans, it only made sense for FIFA to come to the home of the Dallas Cowboys.
New York/New Jersey - MetLife Stadium
MetLife Stadium is home to the New York Jets and New York Giants and opened in 2010. Along with hosting the Super Bowl, the stadium also hosted the Army-Navy game last year and drew over 82,000 fans.
Kansas City - Arrowhead Stadium
This is one of the older stadiums as it opened in 1972. While it hasn't hosted too many huge events, Arrowhead Stadium has a big fanbase thanks to the success of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Houston - NRG Stadium
NRG Stadium opened in 2002 which is the same year the Houston Texans began playing in the NFL. In the last 20 years, NRG Stadium has hosted two Super Bowls, WrestleMania 25 and various U.S. men's national soccer team matches.
