Gillette Stadium
Boston Stadium
Boston Stadium is scheduled for group-stage matches and a knockout fixture, giving New England a tournament stop connected to both NFL and MLS audiences.
Gillette Stadium is located in Foxborough, southwest of Boston, but represents the Boston host region in the 2026 venue map. Its suburban campus is built around large event access, parking, and year-round sports use. The stadium's regular Revolution tenancy gives it a soccer layer, while its Patriots history brings a broader New England sports identity to the tournament.
Opened in 2002, Gillette Stadium replaced Foxboro Stadium and became the Patriots' and Revolution's home. It has hosted NFL playoff games, MLS Cup, Copa America Centenario, Gold Cup matches, college football, NHL outdoor hockey, and major concerts.
