The New York City government reported that spending by out‑of‑town visitors during the 2026 FIFA World Cup added roughly $2 billion to the city’s economy.
The tournament ran from June 8 to July 8, 2026, and included several matches held in New York City. The influx of international fans and tourists generated additional consumer spending across the city.
The 2026 World Cup was co‑hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico, and New York’s matches attracted large numbers of visitors.
