The summer of 2025 will bring more than the warmth of the sun—it will carry the hopes, dreams, and fierce passion of nations. From June 14 to July 6, the Gold Cup 2025 will sweep across North America, uniting fans and players alike in a celebration of sport and shared histories. CONCACAF, with all its heritage and rivalry, will stand as the heart of this great tournament. A grand total of 14 stadiums across 11 cities will echo with the cheers of spectators, a symphony of nations singing the praises of their heroes.
Under the bright lights of places like the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles and BC Place in Vancouver, memories will be crafted that last a lifetime. For the first time, new venues will taste the excitement of Gold Cup glory—like the US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis and PayPal Park in San José—welcoming the world to witness history unfold on their fields.
A Game, A Dream, and The Cities That Hold Them
The arenas that will house these games are not mere buildings; they are sanctuaries where nations will meet in mutual respect and fierce competition. Texas, vast and proud, will offer no fewer than four stadiums, from the grand AT&T Stadium in Arlington to the spirited Q2 Stadium in Austin. The people of Houston will be blessed with two stages for the magic of the Gold Cup, with both the NRG Stadium and the Shell Energy Stadium opening their doors.
Meanwhile, the sun-drenched coast of California will witness battles in the mighty Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara and the historic Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson. But it is not only these familiar grounds that will stand witness to the dance of nations—new and unexpected cities will rise to the occasion. The Snapdragon Stadium of San Diego and the CityPark of St. Louis will join the chorus, hosting Gold Cup matches for the very first time. Each venue, like every competing team, brings its own story, its own history, its own dreams.
Where the Spirit of Unity Meets Fierce Rivalry
The Gold Cup is more than a competition—it is a narrative of unity, a tapestry of cultures coming together under one sky. As Mexico, the current champion, steps forward to defend its crown, the shadows of history stand tall behind them. Their victory in the 2023 Gold Cup, where they bested Panama in a tense 1-0 battle, was their 12th triumph in the tournament’s storied history. They will return with the weight of expectation on their shoulders, knowing that only the United States and Costa Rica have claimed this title beyond their grasp in the last two decades.
But the story is still being written. 2025 brings new possibilities, and on these fields, anything can happen. The people of Phoenix, standing tall in the heat of the State Farm Stadium, and the fans in Las Vegas, gathering beneath the shimmering lights of the Allegiant Stadium, know this well. They will witness greatness, as will the fans across Canada, cheering from the stands of BC Place in Vancouver.
The Heart of a Champion, the Voice of a People
It is in these moments that a nation’s heart beats loudest, when the sweat and toil of every pass and every goal bring a people closer together. The Gold Cup 2025 will be a reflection of the enduring power of sport to unite, to inspire, and to remind us of our shared humanity.
Though champions may rise and fall, the spirit of competition—rooted in respect and camaraderie—will remain. The people will come, not just to see the games, but to be a part of something larger. For in the fields of Santa Clara, Inglewood, Austin, and beyond, they will stand shoulder to shoulder, hearts swelling with pride, all in the name of the game they love.
