Soccer fans in Philadelphia, get ready for a thrilling ride. The 2026 World Cup is coming to town, and six matches will be played at Lincoln Financial Field, officially known as Philadelphia Stadium during the event.
The draw has already given us some insight into how the teams will be grouped, but it's not until now that we know which specific matches will take place on US soil. For Sunday, June 14, Ecuador will face off against Ivory Coast in a highly anticipated clash, with kick-off set for 7 pm. Another early match is scheduled for Friday, June 19, when Brazil takes on Haiti at 9 pm.
On Monday, June 22, France will meet either Iraq, Bolivia, or Suriname in a match that promises to be a highlight of the tournament. The teams will face off at 5 pm, but it's unclear which opponent France will face just yet.
The Ivory Coast has another match scheduled for Thursday, June 25, when they'll take on Curacao at 4 pm. Meanwhile, Croatia and Ghana will go head-to-head in a highly competitive match on Saturday, June 27, kicking off at 5 pm.
But here's the thing: one of these matches could be a knockout round, with the exact opponent still unknown. The date is set for July 4, but the identity of France's opponent remains under wraps for now.
For now, fans in Philadelphia will have to content themselves with speculation about which teams they'll be cheering on and when. But trust us, it won't be long before tickets are released, and those who act fast could snag some of the best seats in town.

I've been a huge soccer fan my whole life, and to have all these matches right here in our city is like a dream come true. I mean, can you imagine watching a live match at Lincoln Financial Field? The energy is gonna be electric, for sure! 
And the fact that we don't know who France's opponent is yet is like adding an extra layer of excitement to the whole thing... what if it's Croatia or Ghana? 
Either way, I'm hyped just thinking about it! 
and what's up with france's match still being a mystery? is it really that hard to announce who they're playing? 
i mean i know it's not about the games themselves, but more about the build up and all that... also 7 pm on sunday for ecuador vs ivory coast sounds like a weird time for a match, dont they usually kick off at 5 or 6 pm? 
just saying 
I'm low-key hyped for the 2026 World Cup coming to Philly! I mean, six matches at one stadium? That's gonna be wild 
! I've been thinking about it - we should really make the most of our tickets when they drop. Have you checked out those ticket pre-sale options yet? 
Maybe we can even form a group chat for some last-minute seat scrambles? 
- that one's gonna be a tough one to call. And can you believe Brazil takes on Haiti at 9 pm on the 19th? 
.
, so I wouldn't be surprised if they sell out fast.
fingers crossed france gets a tough opponent for that monday matchup 
? I'm so hyped about the World Cup coming to Philly, but ticket prices better not break the bank 
! How many people do you think will be able to get tickets in time? Should we start speculating on which teams might make it past the group stage 
I'm hyped for the World Cup, but also kinda nervous... I mean, can Philly handle all these extra visitors? They'll need to make sure the stadium's ready for 60k+ people or else it's gonna be a mess! 
️
I'm hyped for that Ecuador vs Ivory Coast match on June 14 
- it's gonna be a nail-biter, especially with kick-off at 7 pm 
! I wonder if the France vs one of those countries (Bolivia or Suriname) match will be a real barnburner 
i mean dont get me wrong its gonna b lit but cmon let ppl enjoy the suspense for once 
theres still plenty of time 4 tickets 2 drop and im sure everyone wud snap em up as soon as they r available 
. I'm already imagining myself screaming at the top of my lungs in Lincoln Financial Field 
. Tickets are gonna fly fast, though, so mark your calendars and get ready to RUMBLE! 
and don't even get me started on the prices for those tickets, mark my words they'll be sold out in minutes, leaving the majority of us with a hefty bill... 
This is gonna be lit! Six matches at Lincoln Financial Field? That's insane! I'm a huge soccer fan and I've got friends who are super hyped for this. The Ivory Coast vs Ecuador match on June 14 is already generating so much buzz. And can you imagine watching France take on whoever it is they'll face in the knockout round on July 4? 
sunday's match between ecuador and ivory coast is gonna be fire 
. The matches that are already confirmed sound like they're gonna be EPIC - Ecuador vs Ivory Coast, Brazil vs Haiti... my mind is racing just thinking about it
