MetLife Stadium, rebranded as "New York New Jersey Stadium," will host six 2026 FIFA World Cup games, including the final on July 19. Tickets are being sold at fixed prices.

FIFA announced the start times for the tournament’s 104 matches on Saturday, a day after the draw for the expanded 48-nation tournament to be played in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The kickoff time allows for prime-time viewing in Europe, where it will be 9 p.m., and Britain, where it will be 8 p.m.

New Jersey is a great place for music lovers as the state is home to a number of concert venues.

The New York/New Jersey region is among the premier host sites for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and, importantly, has been selected to host the final match — making it the centerpiece location for the culmination of the world’s biggest soccer tournament.
