Your World Cup 2026 Travel Guide
Everything you need for the World Cup 2026, visas, currency, safety, hotels and more across 16 cities in 3 countries. One guide, zero stress.
Your Trip Starts Here
Planning your World Cup 2026 travel guide starts with one fact: this tournament spans 16 host cities across 3 countries. You will cross borders, juggle three currencies (USD, CAD, and MXN), and deal with different tipping norms, healthcare systems, and languages. That sounds like a lot, but this guide breaks it all down so you can focus on the football.
The tournament runs from June 11 to July 19, 2026, with 104 matches across 16 stadiums. The good news? All three countries share the same plug type (A/B), the same emergency number (911), and widely accept contactless payments. You can get an eSIM covering all three countries from around $15, and most modern phone chargers handle the 120V outlets without a voltage converter.
Below you will find 13 in-depth guides covering everything from currency exchange and safety tips to family travel and accessibility. Two interactive tools, a real-time currency converter and a match city finder, help you plan the details. For official ticket purchases, head to FIFA.com . Whether you are a solo traveller catching one group stage match or a family following your team to the final, this is your home base.
