DISCOVER KANSAS CITY

As the country’s most centrally located major metropolitan area, the Kansas City region truly is the Heart of America. It’s also an unparalleled destination for every sports fan.

Stretching across two states (Missouri and Kansas) and home to 2.1 million residents, the region is just a three-hour flight from either U.S. coast. KC has an eclectic food, arts and entertainment scene, from a collection of James Beard Award winners, beloved jazz clubs, internationally known museums and galleries, and more working fountains than any city on earth outside of Rome. The area stands proudly as a leader in industries ranging from logistics and animal health to battery manufacturing and data center operations.

KC hosts teams competing in Major League Soccer, the National Women’s Soccer League, the National Football League, Major League Baseball and more. Each franchise boasts a diehard local fanbase, delivering an electric atmosphere on game day.

The region’s athletic prowess doesn’t end there. With KC-based organizations playing a role in designing 13 of the 16 venues that will host matches during FIFA World Cup 26™, the Heart of America is also a hotbed for sports architecture.

Innovative, energetic, creative and welcoming, Kansas City is at the center of the map and the American story. Join us in the heart of it all during FIFA World Cup 26™.
