Going to America. Now Pick Your City.
Eleven US cities are hosting matches at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. They're each genuinely different — Miami feels nothing like Seattle, Dallas nothing like Boston. Picking the right city for your trip matters as much as picking the right match.
The interactive grid above lets you filter by region (East / South / Midwest / West), climate (some of these cities are dangerously hot in June), and vibe (beach holiday vs cultural city break vs outdoor adventure). Tap any card for the full city guide — stadium info, where to stay, neighbourhood breakdowns, food, hidden gems, day trips, and practical tips for English fans.
England fans: your Group C is split across MetLife Stadium (New York/New Jersey), Lincoln Financial Field (Philadelphia), and Hard Rock Stadium (Miami). Start there.
