About New York / New Jersey
MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, will host the World Cup 2026 Final on July 19. Home to the NFL’s Giants and Jets, it’s 9 km from Manhattan and offers one of the best skylines from a stadium concourse anywhere in world football.
Getting to the stadium
NJ Transit trains from Secaucus Junction run directly to Meadowlands Station on match days (15 min). From Penn Station (Manhattan) it’s ~40 minutes door-to-door with one transfer.
Local tip
💡 Arrive early and walk the American Dream Mall complex next door — fan zones and official merchandise stores cluster there.
