MetLife Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium at the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey, United States, 5 mi (8 km) west of New York City. It opened in 2010, replacing Giants Stadium, and serves as the home for the New York Giants and New York Jets of the National Football League (NFL). At an approximate cost of $1.6 billion, it was the most expensive stadium built in the United States at the time of its completion.

MetLife hosted Super Bowl XLVIII. It also hosted multiple matches of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, including the final, and is scheduled to host multiple matches of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, including its final. It will be called New York/New Jersey Stadium during the latter tournament due to FIFA stadium sponsorship regulations. It is the largest stadium in New Jersey and the New York metro area with a capacity of over 82,000, along with being the largest venue in the NFL.
