About the stadium

New York New Jersey Stadium is the tournament name for MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, the Meadowlands venue serving the New York metropolitan area.

Stadium history

  • MetLife Stadium opened in 2010 as the shared home of the New York Giants and New York Jets.
  • The venue has hosted the Super Bowl, Copa America matches, club friendlies and major concerts.
  • For FIFA World Cup 26, New York New Jersey is scheduled for five group-stage fixtures and three knockout matches, including the final.

Area context

  • The stadium is in the Meadowlands rather than Manhattan, so visitors should plan a New Jersey stadium trip.
  • Large final-week crowds can make hotel, rail and rideshare timing more important than the raw map distance.

Getting around

  • NJ Transit rail, event shuttles, buses, rideshare and managed parking are central to Meadowlands event travel.
  • Check official matchday service plans because normal rail patterns can differ for major stadium events.
