The 2026 World Cup final will be held in the MetLife Stadium on July 19th, 2026. While it hosts the biggest game in all sports, it is not ranked as the highest-valued stadium in the 2026 World Cup tournament. Only two stadiums in the world are valued higher, and one will host games at the 2026 World Cup.

According to Bleacher Report, AT&T Stadium is ranked as the 7th most valuable stadium in the world. The stadium is valued at $1.48 billion as Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones spent that much on the whole project. The AT&T Stadium will host the most games out of any stadium in the 2026 World Cup, hosting nine games during the tournament.

One of the most anticipated stadium experiences many football fans would like in the 2026 World Cup is being in the Merecdes-Benz Stadium, home of Atlanta United and the NFL's Atlanta Falcons. The stadium is valued at $1.5 billion and holds a maximum 75,000 capacity. It ranks as the third most valuable stadium in the 2026 World Cup.

The home of the 2026 World Cup Final, MetLife stadium is the second most valuable stadium out of the 2026 World Cup stadiums and the world's third most valuable stadium. The cost of this stadium, which is 5 miles away from New York City, is $1.7 billion, with a capacity of the NFL's New York Jets and New York Giants. The stadium is familiar with hosting finals for football (soccer), where they hosted the 2016 Copa America Centenario final. The second most valuable stadium in the world is the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, valued at $1.9 billion, but it won't host any 2026 World Cup games.

It is valued at $5.5 billion and is the home of the NFL's Los Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Chargers. The United States' opening match at the 2026 World Cup will be played at SoFi stadium in Los Angeles, California, on June 12th, 2026.
