A major sporting event is coming to MetLife Stadium, and it could significantly change the New York Jets’ playing surface.
It was announced on Sunday afternoon that the 2026 World Cup Final will take place at the Jets’ home stadium. MetLife Stadium was chosen over the Los Angeles-based SoFi Stadium and the Dallas-based AT&T Stadium.
