MetLife Stadium temporarily changes its name for World Cup – NBC New York

MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, is currently undergoing significant transformations in anticipation of the World Cup.

This renowned venue is being rebranded as New York New Jersey Stadium ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, an event set to take place in various stadiums across Mexico, Canada, and the United States.

On Monday, Chopper 4 observed the new signs being installed as it flew over the stadium.

FIFA regulations require participating stadiums to remove all existing branding during the World Cup, as the organization does not permit venues with corporate-sponsored names or logos.

Therefore, host stadiums adopt generic city or regional names when staging World Cup games.

The New York New Jersey Stadium is slated to host several World Cup matches, including the grand final on July 19.

Don’t miss a single match or thrilling moment; catch all the action live in Spanish on Telemundo and Peacock, starting June 11!
