Know Before You Go
San Francisco Bay Area Stadium is the official FIFA World Cup 2026 name for Levi's Stadium. FIFA strips commercial sponsor branding from host venues for the duration of the tournament, so on match tickets, broadcast graphics and the official fixture list the venue appears as San Francisco Bay Area Stadium. Locals will keep calling it Levi's Stadium the rest of the year.
Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara brings Silicon Valley innovation to the World Cup. As one of the most technologically advanced stadiums in the world, it features high-density Wi-Fi, a stadium app for ordering food to your seat, and over 1,600 wireless access points. It hosted Super Bowl 50 and multiple international soccer friendlies.
