July 15, 2026 — Atlanta Stadium hosts Match 102, the Wednesday World Cup semi-final
FIFA World Cup 2026’s second semi-final is Wednesday, July 15 at Atlanta Stadium (Mercedes-Benz Stadium). Match 102 follows Tuesday’s Dallas semi and sends one finalist toward Sunday’s MetLife title game — kickoff boards cluster around 3:00 p.m. ET.
Track Jul 15 for Atlanta. Jul 14 is Dallas, Jul 18 is Miami bronze, Jul 19 is the New York–New Jersey final — different cities, different SKUs.
Confirmed: Wed Jul 15 Atlanta / Match 102 — not Dallas Tue, not Miami bronze, not MetLife final
Confirmed: July 15, 2026; Match 102; Atlanta Stadium; second semi-final of Canada/Mexico/USA 2026. Not confirmed as relocated to Mercedes-Benz only under a different FIFA city code, as a Friday night flex, or as the third-place match. Fake “both semis in Atlanta” stubs invent a corridor.

Specifics that keep this off generic “World Cup semi” templates
- Match code: 102 — Winner M99 vs Winner M100.
- Venue: Atlanta Stadium (Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta, Georgia).
- Clock: ~3:00 p.m. ET on published U.S. broadcast boards.
- 2026 Atlanta SF path: England vs Argentina in this slot (per tournament coverage).
- Sibling semis: Dallas the day before — not a doubleheader in one city.
Atlanta gets exactly one semi-final — Wednesday Match 102 — then the tournament leaves Georgia for Miami and MetLife
Dallas takes Tuesday’s semi; Atlanta takes Wednesday’s. That one-night assignment makes July 15 the city’s World Cup climax and farewell: after Match 102 the bronze goes to Miami and the final to New York–New Jersey. Searching “Atlanta World Cup final” is the wrong SKU — Georgia’s last dance is a semi.
Honest pages keep Jul 15 / Match 102 / Atlanta Stadium, separate the Dallas sibling, and refuse to sell MetLife Sunday as this countdown.
