The 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup is in the books.

The month-plus long tournament, which started in early June and ended in late July, was held in North America. The United States, Canada and Mexico acted as the co-hosts, with the final game being played at Metlife Stadium in New Jersey.

Several prominent American cities, from New York to Boston to Miami to Dallas to Kansas City to Los Angeles, hosted several games throughout the tournament.

Spain topped Argentina, 1-0, in the final game of the tournament.

But which U.S. cities got most into the action? Fox Sports has the numbers on Wednesday, July 22.

According to Fox Sports, the following 15 U.S. cities were most into the 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup, from start to finish:

  1. Kansas City
  2. Boston
  3. Austin
  4. San Francisco
  5. Dallas
  6. San Diego
  7. Atlanta
  8. St. Louis
  9. Providence
  10. West Palm Beach
  11. Seattle
  12. Richmond
  13. Washington, D.C.
  14. Denver
  15. Los Angeles

There aren't too many big surprises on this list

New York, which hosted several games, including the final, is not in the Top 15. However, New York City is so big, with so many different interests, that this doesn't come as a huge surprise.

Meanwhile, Kansas City is one of the biggest soccer hotbeds in the country, as is Atlanta. It's no surprise to see those two U.S. cities included.

Boston got very into the World Cup, especially during Norway games, so it's fun to see the Northeast U.S. city included, as well.

Ultimately, it'll be interesting to see what the Top 15 looks like during the next World Cup, which is set to be hosted in Europe in 2030.

The World Cup could ultimately return to North America and perhaps the United States in 2038.
