"Los Angeles will welcome a total of eight World Cup matches. This includes five group stage fixtures, two Round of 32 clashes, and a quarter-final game. The home fans will be happy to hear that this schedule includes both USA group matches, the Paraguay opener, and the June 25 fixture versus the UEFA Playoff C winner, in a match highly likely to determine advancement."

Los Angeles will host the United States opener at SoFi Stadium on June 12, 2026, and a total of eight World Cup matches including both USA group games, the Paraguay opener, two Round of 32 games, and a quarter-final. SoFi Stadium seats 70,240 in World Cup configuration, opened in September 2020, and sits three miles from LAX on the former Hollywood Park Racetrack site. The venue features a translucent canopy, a 70,000-square-foot video board spanning the field, and wide concourses to ease crowd flow. Ticket prices, lack of direct rail service, and dispersed accommodation options will shape local logistics and attendance choices.
