Planning Your Trip

With matches spread across three time zones and two continents (geographically), fans attending multiple games face longer travel distances than any previous tournament. The upside: three distinct cultures, three distinct football atmospheres. A match in Mexico City feels nothing like a match in Seattle or Toronto. That variety is exactly what makes 2026 unique.
