About Levi's Stadium

Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California brings FIFA World Cup 2026 to the heart of Silicon Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area. Home of the San Francisco 49ers and famous for hosting Super Bowl 50 in 2016, the 68,500-seat venue sits in the tech capital of the world, just minutes from San Jose and roughly 45 minutes south of San Francisco. The stadium's partial canopy, cutting-edge connectivity and solar-panelled rooftop garden make it one of the most technologically advanced and environmentally conscious venues in the tournament. Bay Area fans are passionate and the diverse, international population of the region will generate vibrant atmospheres for every World Cup fixture held here.

Named after iconic denim brand Levi Strauss & Co., the stadium debuted in 2014 and made history hosting Super Bowl 50 in 2016. A rooftop garden and solar panels atop the structure make it one of the greenest NFL venues in the country.
