Key Dates and Venue Notes
June 15, 2026 is the first important date because Atlanta opens with Spain vs Cabo Verde at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. That opener sets the local tone immediately and can shape travel pressure around the whole first week. For some venues, the first date is also attached to a host nation or a seeded side, which makes the early demand curve even sharper.
July 15, 2026 matters for a different reason because the venue closes with the semi-final. That semi-final gives Atlanta one of the last direct routes into the final. That last date is usually the one that carries the highest ticket, transport, and accommodation pressure. Fans should treat it as the hardest local planning window on the whole schedule.
