💡 Travel Guide

World Cup 2026 Travel Tips

Everything you need to know before traveling to FIFA World Cup 2026. Visa info, currency, transportation, safety, and pro tips from seasoned sports travelers.

🛂 Visa Requirements

🇺🇸

USA

Most visitors from Visa Waiver Program (VWP) countries can travel without a visa using ESTA authorization. Apply online at esta.cbp.dhs.gov at least 72 hours before travel. Citizens of non-VWP countries need a B-2 tourist visa.

🇨🇦

Canada

Citizens of visa-required countries must apply for a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV). Most US citizens and many other nationalities can enter Canada visa-free. Check Canada's eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization) requirements at canada.ca.

🇲🇽

Mexico

Mexico does not require advance visas for most nationalities including citizens of the US, EU, UK, Canada, and Australia. You'll receive a tourist card (FMM) upon arrival - typically valid for 180 days. No cost for most travelers.

⚠️ Visa requirements can change. Always verify with official government sources before travel.

💱 Currency Guide

USD 🇺🇸
US Dollar - accepted everywhere in the USA. Major credit cards are universally accepted. ATMs widely available. Keep some cash for small vendors and taxis.
CAD 🇨🇦
Canadian Dollar - ~0.74 USD. Canada is a low-cash society; cards accepted nearly everywhere. Currency exchange at airports has poor rates - use ATMs or Wise instead.
MXN 🇲🇽
Mexican Peso - ~17 MXN per USD. USD accepted at tourist areas but you'll get better value using pesos. Use ATMs attached to banks. Avoid street money changers.

🚌 Getting Around

🚇 Use Public Transit

Every World Cup city has a transit system. On match days, public transit is almost always faster than rideshare or driving. Download the local transit app before you arrive.

📱 Download Ride Apps

Download Uber before traveling - it works across all three countries. In Mexico, InDriver and Cabify are also popular. Never accept unlicensed taxis.

🚗 Renting a Car

Ideal for exploring areas outside the city or visiting multiple venues. Pre-book through RentCars or major chains (Hertz, Enterprise). International driving permit recommended for Mexico.

🚆 City Rail Links

Several stadiums have direct rail links: Seattle (Link Light Rail), Atlanta (MARTA), Philadelphia (SEPTA BSL), Vancouver (SkyTrain). Always check game-day shuttle services too.
