Mercedes-Benz Stadium
Atlanta Stadium
Atlanta Stadium is scheduled for group-stage matches, knockout games, and a semifinal, giving the Southeast one of the tournament's most important late-stage venues.
Mercedes-Benz Stadium sits in downtown Atlanta and is known for its retractable roof, circular halo video board, and strong Atlanta United soccer crowds. It is one of the few U.S. host venues where MLS attendance has already shown how large football audiences can look in an NFL-scale building. In 2026, Atlanta Stadium moves from regional anchor to global semifinal stage.
Opened in 2017, the stadium replaced the Georgia Dome and has hosted Super Bowl LIII, college football championships, MLS Cup, Copa America matches, concerts, and Atlanta United's largest nights. Its roof and video board made it a signature new-generation U.S. venue.
