PA CC Live Screening

Matches Hosted by Canada & Mexico

Because Canada and Mexico each have a smaller share of the overall venue pool (2 and 3 stadiums respectively), their group-stage matches focus on keeping their home teams and geographically logical groups clustered locally.

🇨🇦 Groups Playing in Canada (Toronto & Vancouver)

Canada's venues host a mix of matches featuring their own national team alongside European, African, and Oceanic powerhouses:

Group B: (Features Canada, Switzerland, Qatar, Bosnia & Herzegovina) — Anchored in Toronto and Vancouver.
Group G: (Features Belgium, Egypt, Iran, New Zealand)
Group L: (Features England, Croatia, Ghana, Panama)
Group C, D, E, F, I: Select individual group-stage fixtures are also distributed to Canada's stadiums to fill out their schedule.

🇲🇽 Groups Playing in Mexico (Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey)

Mexico’s historic stadiums host vibrant Latin American, Asian, and European matchups:

Group A: (Features Mexico, South Korea, South Africa, Czechia) — Anchored heavily at Estadio Azteca and Estadio Akron.
Group K: (Features Portugal, Colombia, Uzbekistan, DR Congo)
Group H: (Features Spain, Uruguay, Saudi Arabia, Cabo Verde)
Group F: Select group fixtures (such as Tunisia vs. Japan) are scheduled in Monterrey.

🇺🇸 The United States (All 12 Groups)

With 11 out of the 16 total tournament stadiums located in the US, every single one of the 12 groups plays matches on American soil.

To prevent teams from crossing the continent repeatedly, the US stadiums are grouped into regional zones:

West Coast Hubs (Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle) handle the bulk of Group D (featuring the USA) and West Coast matches for Groups B and G.
Central Hubs (Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Atlanta) primarily capture Group E and Group K.
East Coast Hubs (New York/New Jersey, Miami, Philadelphia, Boston) host the heavy European and South American clashes of Group C, Group I, and Group L.

he 3 Travel Zones Explained

By looking at the map above, you can see how the groups are neatly split to keep travel minimal:

1. The West Zone (Blue Dots)

The Cities: Vancouver (Canada), Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles (USA), and Guadalajara (Mexico).
The Groups: Group A, Group B, and Group G play here.
Example: Group B (Canada's group) stays entirely along this coast, playing matches split between Vancouver and Los Angeles.

2. The Central Zone (Green Dots)

The Cities: Kansas City, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta (USA), plus Monterrey and Mexico City (Mexico).
The Groups: Group C, Group D, Group E, and Group K play here.
Example: Group A (Mexico's group) stays in this zone, playing out of Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Houston. Group D (USA's group) plays its matches in Los Angeles and Seattle, bridging the West and Central links.

3. The East Zone (Red Dots)

The Cities: Toronto (Canada), Boston, New York/New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Miami (USA).
The Groups: Group F, Group H, Group I, Group J, and Group L play here.
Example: Group L (England & Croatia) plays entirely on the East Coast, splitting matches between Toronto, Boston, and New York.

The Simple Takeaway

Does a group stay in one country? No.
Does a group stay in one region? Yes. If you are in Group L, you will only play on the East Coast (moving between Toronto and New York, for example). If you are in Group A, you stay down in the Central/Mexico region.

This layout ensures no team has to endure a grueling 6-hour flight between group matches.
