2026 World Cup in the United States: This is how much tickets to watch the final at MetLife Stadium cost
The Athletic has leaked the cost of attending matches at next summer’s World Cup. We reveal how much it will cost to attend the final at MetLife Stadium.

The 2026 World Cup is fast approaching, and for the first time ever, three nations—United States, Mexico, and Canada—will co-host the world’s biggest soccer tournament. It’s the ultimate prize every national team dreams of, and it only comes around once every four years.
This unprecedented tri-nation setup brings with it three official mascots unveiled by FIFA: “Clutch” for the United States, “Maple” for Canada, and “Zayu” for Mexico—each representing the spirit and culture of their respective countries.
Opening in Mexico, grand finale in New Jersey
While Mexico’s legendary Estadio Azteca will kick off the tournament, the grand finale is set for MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. With a seating capacity of just over 82,000, the venue promises a spectacular atmosphere worthy of crowning the next world champion. Will Argentina defend its title, or will a new nation rise to glory?
