With the soccer world’s eyes on North America ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, five cities across the United States have been selected to host the biggest Mexican Men’s National Team U.S. Tour in the 21-year history of the annual event known as the “MexTour,” including the first-ever soccer match at the redeveloped 102,000-seat Kyle Field at Texas A&M University in College Station, TX, where Mexico will take on global powerhouse Brazil on Saturday, June 8. The game at Texas A&M University could break the MexTour attendance record of 90,526, set in 2010 at Pasadena's Rose Bowl Stadium against New Zealand.
The Federación Mexicana de Fútbol (FMF) and Soccer United Marketing (SUM) today announced the following dates, cities, and opponents for the 2024 MexTour, one of the most successful team sports events in the U.S.:

Tickets to the September games will go on sale at a later time.

The first three MexTour games will serve as a preview to the 2024 CONMEBOL Copa America tournament that will be played in the U.S. starting June 20. All four national teams – Mexico, Bolivia, Uruguay, and Brazil – are expected to compete with their top rosters. The September matches against New Zealand and Canada will be key to Mexico as the nation continues preparations for the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup and Concacaf Nations League ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be played in Canada, Mexico, and the U.S.
“We are thrilled to return with the MexTour to Chicago, Denver, Pasadena and Arlington, where fans - year after year- have embraced the Mexican National Team with remarkable passion,” said SUM Executive Vice President Camilo Durana. “This year, in conjunction with Lone Star Sports & Entertainment and the Houston Dynamo FC, we welcome the opportunity to host soccer for the first time at the renewed and historic 102,000-seat Kyle Field at Texas A&M University, in a match against the Brazilian National Team and its roster of global stars. The match will be a celebration of soccer for the entire state.”
