Kansas City Takes the World Stage

A sports town like no other, KC boasts a prime location, a world-class airport and a skyline full of energy. From Big 12 Championships and CONCACAF Gold Cup matches to Super Bowl parades and the 2023 NFL Draft, our region is built to host the biggest events in sports.
Now, FIFA World Cup 26™ will bring millions of fans and six official matches, including a quarter-final, to the heart of America.
