Mercedes-Benz Stadium is a retractable roof multi-purpose stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S. Opened in 2017 as a replacement for the Georgia Dome, it is the home to the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League (NFL), Atlanta United FC of Major League Soccer (MLS), and an expansion team of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL). The stadium is owned by the state of Georgia through the Georgia World Congress Center Authority, and operated by AMB Group, the parent organization of the Falcons and Atlanta United FC. In 2016, the total cost of its construction was estimated at US$1.6 billion.

The stadium officially opened on August 26, 2017. Several events formerly held at the Georgia Dome moved to Mercedes-Benz Stadium following its completion, including multiple college football events, such as the SEC football championship game, the Peach Bowl, and the College Football Playoff National Championship (2018, 2025). Other professional events included the MLS Cup (as Atlanta United FC held home field advantage) in 2018, and Super Bowl LIII in 2019. Mercedes-Benz Stadium will host Super Bowl LXII in 2028. It will also host multiple matches during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
