Mexico Will Host Nations League Quarterfinal Second Leg at Monterrey’s Estadio BBVA

Estadio Azteca’s NFL booking prompted the move to Monterrey, with Mexico’s quarterfinal opponent to be decided after the September–October FIFA windows.

Overview

  • The Federación Mexicana de Fútbol confirmed Wednesday that the second leg of Mexico’s CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinal will be played at Estadio BBVA in Monterrey on November 17, 2026.
  • The FMF said the match will be Mexico’s final competitive fixture of 2026 and the first official Nations League home game hosted at the BBVA.
  • Estadio Azteca was unavailable because it is scheduled to host an NFL regular-season game on November 22, which led officials to select Monterrey as an alternative venue.
  • Rafael Márquez will make his first home appearance as Mexico’s head coach at the BBVA, creating an early domestic test for his team while the opponent remains undecided.
  • The BBVA gained recent international profile by hosting four matches at the 2026 World Cup, and the return to Nuevo León ends an eight-year absence that could reshape local fan engagement and ticket demand for November 17.
