Spain's list of proposed 2030 venues has changed twice. Málaga withdrew in July 2025 over logistical problems with the renovation of La Rosaleda, and A Coruña withdrew on 15 March 2026, citing hosting costs.

In late March 2026 the Spanish federation reportedly put forward Valencia's Nou Mestalla and Vigo's Balaídos as replacements. Both had been proposed earlier but left out because of the 20-stadium limit across the three host countries.

The venue list is still a proposal; FIFA has not confirmed the final selection.
