The 2026 World Cup is fast approaching, and attention is not just turning to the spectacle itself, but also to the quality of the matchday experience fans can experience in and around the stadiums.
Based on average user ratings out of five, several venues across the host nations of the United States, Mexico and Canada stand out as the best-rated grounds to host the tournament.
AT&T Stadium among the best fan experiences at 2026 World Cup
As many as four stadiums share the highest rating of 4.7 out of 5, via Google reviews, highlighting consistently strong fan experiences.
The AT&T Stadium tops the list in terms of profile and scale, pairing its elite facilities with its vast 94,000 capacity – the biggest of any venue at the World Cup.
Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta matches that rating, with supporters regularly highlighting its futuristic design, excellent views and fan-friendly amenities.
Mexico also features strongly at the top end, with Estadio Akron and Estadio BBVA both boasting 4.7 ratings, too.
United States venues clean up in the best of the rest at 2026 World Cup
A large group of other United States-based stadiums sit behind the leaders with 4.6 out of 5 ratings, underlining the overall high standard of venues selected for the 2026 World Cup.
These include SoFi Stadium, NRG Stadium, Gillette Stadium, Hard Rock Stadium, Lumen Field and Lincoln Financial Field.
Spread across major American cities, these venues are regularly praised for comfort, accessibility and atmosphere.
2026 World Cup final venue MetLife Stadium not even inside top 10
Three major venues are graded at 4.5 out of 5, which is still positive, but does mean they fall outside of the top ten best-rated stadiums, including the host of the final, the MetLife Stadium.
Mexico's third and final host venue, Estadio Azteca, and Arrowhead Stadium also sit in this group.
While slightly lower rated, their historic significance and intense atmospheres remain key selling points.
Both of Canada's two stadiums, BC Place and BMO Field, are also at the lower end of the ranking, just like their capacities, though they are still well reviewed.
Notably, every stadium at the 2026 World Cup is graded at a 4.4 or higher on Google, rated by those who have actually visited them.
Whether they are modern showpieces or historic venues of sporting heritage, fans will be able to expect consistently high-quality stadium experiences during the summer tournament.
