"Major U.S. Stadiums Prepare for FIFA World Cup 2026"
Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Revolution and the New England Patriots, will be known as "Boston Stadium" during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, hosting seven matches including a quarterfinal. An estimated 450,000 fans are expected to flock to Foxborough, generating a significant economic boost for Massachusetts. The Boston Soccer 2026 committee hopes fans will stay in Boston for the entire tournament and travel to other nearby venues for matches. The national teams playing at Gillette Stadium will not be known until March 2026, and FIFA has not yet announced when tickets will be available for purchase.
