Planning your trip
The 2026 World Cup is the biggest sporting event in history, spanning 16 cities across three nations. With 104 matches from June 11 to July 19, planning is everything. Start with your group stage tickets — teams like Brazil, Argentina, France and Germany sell out within hours. Check the full match schedule to plan around the games you most want to see.
Getting your tickets
Resale platforms like StubHub and Viagogo carry secondary market tickets. Expect to pay $150–$800 for group stage matches and $500–$5000 for knockout rounds.
Where to stay
Book hotels as early as possible. Stadium-adjacent hotels near MetLife in New Jersey and SoFi in Los Angeles are already heavily booked for matchdays. Browse our venues and hotel guide for picks near all 16 stadiums. We recommend a mix of two nights per venue city to make the most of each location.
Getting around
The USA has limited public transport between cities — see our full travel guide for car rental, rail and transfer options between host cities.
