The 2026 World Cup quarter‑finals are being played in four different cities across the United States : Boston, Los Angeles (SoFi Stadium), Miami, and Kansas City (George Karellas Stadium in Arrowhead).

Quick answer

  • Games: 4 quarter‑final matches
  • Dates: Thursday 9 July to Saturday 11 July 2026 (the schedule can extend to 12 July depending on exact timings).
  • Stadiums:
    • Boston Stadium (Boston, Massachusetts)
    • SoFi Stadium (Los Angeles/Inglewood, California)
    • Miami Stadium (Miami, Florida)
    • Kansas City Stadium (Kansas City, Missouri – the Arrowhead venue).

Where each quarter‑final is played

Based on the latest published schedule:

Match (as scheduled)| Venue (city & stadium)
---|---
France vs Morocco| Boston Stadium, Boston
Portugal/Spain vs USA/Belgium| SoFi Stadium, Los Angeles area
Norway vs Mexico/England| Miami Stadium, Miami
Argentina/Egypt vs Switzerland/Colombia| Kansas City Stadium, Kansas City (Arrowhead)

These are the exact locations where the quarter‑finals are being staged.

Why those venues?

The 2026 tournament is co‑hosted by Canada, Mexico and the United States , but all quarter‑finals have been allocated to U.S. venues as part of FIFA’s knockout‑round map. Big‑market stadiums with strong infrastructure and fan bases were chosen to handle the high demand and global interest in these matches.

How this fits into the tournament

  • Quarter‑finals: 9–12 July 2026
  • Winner path: Quarter‑final winners go to the semi‑finals, then the final on Sunday 19 July (currently planned in a U.S. venue, likely a major stadium such as SoFi or another top site).

If you’re planning to watch, these four cities are the only places where the quarter‑final matches themselves are being played; all other knockout exposure for fans will be via broadcasts or local watch parties.
