Host City: Philadelphia

The Bethlehem Steel FC, based nearby to Philadelphia, was one of the most dominant teams in early American soccer history. In the modern era, the sport gained new momentum with the founding of the Philadelphia Union in 2010, who play at Subaru Park in Chester.

The city's Lincoln Financial Field will stage five group matches and a Round of 16 showdown on 4 July 2026, America’s 250th anniversary of Independence Day, between 14 June and 4 July 2026. This stadium has hosted many events, including: The 2003 FIFA Women’s World Cup™, the 2015 Gold Cup Final, and friendlies such as Manchester United vs. Barcelona (2003 opener). It serves as home to the NFL’s Eagles and briefly MLS’s Union (2010).
