Know Before You Go
Philadelphia Stadium is the official FIFA World Cup 2026 name for Lincoln Financial Field.

Locals will keep calling it Lincoln Financial Field the rest of the year.
Lincoln Financial Field, known affectionately as 'The Linc,' is the home of the Philadelphia Eagles and one of the most raucous sporting venues in America.
