It\u2019s finally here. The 2026 global soccer tournament begins today, eight years after the U.S., Mexico and Canada were named as co-hosts. <\/strong>An unprecedented 48 teams will compete, with 104 games coming to 16 host cities across North America\u2014each hoping for the tournament\u2019s glow to last long after the iconic golden trophy has been lifted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The real estate potential conferred on cities spotlighted on this global sporting stage was explored in the Sotheby\u2019s International Realty 2026 Luxury Outlook report<\/a>, published January 2026.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe big value in soccer is that it has international popularity,\u201d said Russ Anderson of Briggs Freeman Sotheby\u2019s International Realty in Dallas, Texas, in the report. \u201cThe exposure will hopefully attract the wealthy from all over the world.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those looking for luxury homes in these locations, here\u2019s what US$10M-US$12M will buy you in five cities hosting some of the biggest matches of the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mexico City <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Contemporary<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mexico City, Mexico<\/a> | Mexico Sotheby\u2019s International Realty<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The historic Mexico City Stadium has already witnessed two men\u2019s soccer cup finals (in 1970 and 1986) and now has the honor of hosting the opening fixture of the 2026 tournament\u2014between home nation Mexico and South Africa on June 11. First opened in 1966, the stadium is considered a masterpiece of Mexican modernism, an architectural style that has an ongoing footprint across the city. Take the sleek lines of this recently built villa<\/a> in the upmarket Lomas de Chapultepec neighborhood. Stone, metal, wood and water combine in an organic aesthetic of understated luxury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los Angeles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles<\/a> | Sotheby\u2019s International Realty – Beverly Hills Brokerage<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team USA\u2019s opening match of the 2026 tournament at Los Angeles Stadium is one of eight games scheduled at the Inglewood-located arena: a local stage for global skill and talent. Thirteen miles north, a box-fresh home in the Hollywood Hills<\/a> aims to showcase similar levels of craftsmanship, albeit more restrained. On a mostly flat lot of 5,000 square feet, the design watchword is \u201clongevity,\u201d prioritizing subtle, durable finishes and the sort of quiet luxury that Los Angelenos increasingly favor. Note: in two years\u2019 time, the same city and stadium will be hosting the opening ceremony of the 2028 Summer Games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toronto<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"exterior<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Toronto, Ontario<\/a> | Sotheby\u2019s International Realty Canada<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canada hosted the women\u2019s soccer cup in 2015, but this is the first year the men\u2019s tournament has played out on Canadian soil. Both Toronto and Vancouver are in on the action. The former in particular is no stranger to international energy, as one of the world\u2019s most multicultural metropolises, with the food and film scenes to match. Its suburbs offer privacy and laid-back living, such as in the exclusive Bridle Path area, nicknamed “Millionaire’s Row\u201d and location of this elegant estate<\/a>. The classic house at its heart is set apart\u2014in every sense\u2014by a landscape of mature trees and impeccable planting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miami<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"patio<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Miami, Florida<\/a> | ONE Sotheby\u2019s International Realty<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miami\u2019s current soccer pedigree is in no small part down to David Beckham, whose club Inter Miami CF has attracted a constellation of global footballing talent since 2018, elevating the U.S. men\u2019s game stateside. Miami Stadium will host seven matches, including the tournament\u2019s penultimate fixture to decide third place. But Miami real estate is no runner-up, as its luxury housing boom continues apace. Waterside living is the game here, exemplified by this expansive condo<\/a>, set within a 20-acre private island development. On-site fine dining, a spa, fitness center and sporting facilities to satisfy even an off-duty soccer star complete the package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New York City<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"interior<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Manhattan, New York<\/a> | Sotheby\u2019s International Realty – East Side Manhattan Brokerage<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so to the tournament\u2019s grand final on July 19. While we can only guess which teams will play, we do know where the match will happen: in East Rutherford, New Jersey. That\u2019s just seven miles west of central Manhattan and this glamorous penthouse duplex<\/a>, the very definition of urban luxury. By day, the condo is flooded with natural light; by night, it offers shimmering skyline views. Like a world-class footballer mid-flow, the building itself appears to defy gravity, tapering backwards over the celebrated High Line, and featuring some of the largest single-pane windows ever used in a residential high-rise development. As in truly world-class soccer meets, superlatives don\u2019t quite cover it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Playing the global game? Where in the world does US$1M-US$2M buy you the most space?<\/a><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
