England's second game of the FIFA World Cup 2026 will take place at the Boston Stadium, in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

The venue will host seven FIFA World Cup 2026 matches, including five group stage games featuring the likes of France, Norway and Scotland, plus one round of 32 fixture and the first quarter-final. 

Home to MLS side New England Revolution and NFL outfit New England Patriots, Boston Stadium hosted matches during the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2003 and now has the largest outdoor high-definition stadium video board in the United States.

The FIFA Fan Festival Boston will be open from 12 June to 27 June during the World Cup. Free and open to the public, the festival aims to showcase the energy, diversity, and creativity of the region. Fans must register for a pass in advance due to space limitations.

The festival will include live match broadcasts, a cultural showcase highlighting local artists, musicians, and performers, and food and drink from Boston restaurant chains including RedRed Kitchen, Dumpling Daughter, Stillwater Grille, The Sausage Guy, Si Cara Pizza, Summer Shack, Che Empanada, and El Jeffe’s.

Boston City Hall Plaza will become the home of the festival, with football-themed activities and entertainment throughout each day. Live music and DJs will keep the celebrations going into the evenings, with fans encouraged to attend and soak up the atmosphere. Find out more here.
