THE 2026 Fifa World Cup will likely be one of the most extravagant tournaments in the history of the competition.
Not least because it is being held across North America and Mexico, but also due to the spectacular stadiums that will play host to football’s biggest stars.

GettyThe USA, Mexico and Canada will share the stage in the summer of 2026 with the best stadiums in all three countries hosting games.
But it’s the US who are set to host the final with the incredible AT&T Stadium in Texas in line to entertain fans for football’s biggest game.
The 80,000 seat stadium is the home of NFL team the Dallas Cowboys and is located in Arlington, Texas.
And it has got a stunning set of features that will leave football fans in awe when they watch the world’s best battle it out on the pitch.
AT&T stadium boasts the world’s largest HDTV which measures a whopping 160 feet wide and 72 feet tall.
The record breaking screen cost a small fortune with the city of Arlington forking out £31.5MILLION for the oversized TV.
The giant screen isn’t the only TV in the stadium either with 3,000 televisions dotted around the ground.
The venue also features a retractable roof to allow for events to take place no matter the weather.

And with temperatures reaching 35°C in the summer, players may be grateful for some shade from the Texas sun.
If the final was to be played with the roof on then it would become the first World Cup final in the history of the competition to played indoors.
The stadium can also be reconfigured to increase its capacity to 100,000 people.
And it’s safe to say it wasn’t a cheap endeavour to build with the 2009 construction costing around £1.3bn in today’s money.
On top of that it’s reported that on a single game day, AT&T Stadium uses more electricity than the entire country of Liberia.
