Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, US hosts 5 matches of the 2026 football tournament. The venue's listed capacity is 73,000.
Arrowhead Stadium hosts six matches in 2026, including round-of-32 fixtures, anchoring the tournament in the American Midwest. Located in Kansas City, Missouri, the venue opened in 1972 and is the home of the Kansas City Chiefs NFL franchise. Capacity for football is approximately 73,000 — making it one of the largest in the tournament. The pitch was reconverted from artificial turf to natural grass for the tournament. Climate is challenging: Midwest summers combine afternoon heat exceeding 35°C with intermittent severe-storm risk including the highest tornado-frequency window in the host country. Arrowhead's legendary atmosphere — built by Chiefs supporters over five decades and recognised among the loudest stadiums in world sport — gives the tournament one of its most authentically American backdrops.
