What temporary venue name does FIFA use for MetLife Stadium in 2026?

FIFA uses “New York New Jersey Stadium” as the temporary name for MetLife Stadium during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The venue is in East Rutherford, New Jersey, just across the Hudson River from New York City, which explains the combined name.

The stadium is the home of the NFL’s New York Giants and New York Jets. It opened in 2010 on the site formerly occupied by Giants Stadium and was designed as a shared venue for both teams. Because FIFA regulations restrict commercial stadium names during its tournaments, the MetLife branding is replaced for World Cup matches.

A common mix-up is calling the venue “New York City Stadium” or “Meadowlands Stadium.” The official temporary tournament name specifically combines the New York and New Jersey identities. MetLife Stadium is also scheduled to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup final, making its temporary name especially prominent.
