Soccer fever is gearing up and the countdown to summer 2026 is already building excitement.
The International Football Tournament returns to North America and this time for the first time it will be with 48 teams competing across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The tournament will be held from June 11 – July 19, jointly hosted by sixteen cities—eleven in the United States, three in Mexico, and two in Canada.
It will be the first international soccer tournament to feature 48 countries instead of 32, making it the biggest in history.
Philadelphia will play a prominent role during the International Soccer Tournament. The city is preparing to showcase both its sporting culture and its historic identity to a global soccer audience.
The Games coincides with the country’s 250th anniversary celebrations, making 2026 an especially symbolic year for the city.
The matches will be played at Lincoln Financial Field, a large, modern stadium located in the South Philadelphia Sports Complex. Philadelphia will host 6 matches, starting on June 14 and ending with a knockout game on July 4. July 4 coinciding with the U.S. Independence Day will be cause for high-profile celebrations.
Philadelphia Stadium was built in 2003 and can hold up to 69,000. It is home to the Philadelphia Eagles of the NFL. The Army–Navy football game is frequently played at the stadium due to Philadelphia being located halfway between both service academies.
During the Philadelphia games there will be a Fan Festival at Lemon Hill in Fairmount Park, featuring large public viewing screens, live music and cultural events, global cuisine for foodies, and interactive soccer activities.
It will likely feel like a city-wide celebration—combining intense match-day energy with cultural festivities and historic significance.
Get ready to discover iconic landmarks, world-class venues, vibrant neighborhoods, and 39-days of fan celebrations across the region.
