Travel to the USA for the 2026 World Cup: Important Reminders

Travelers to the USA must follow the rules.

The Foreign Office reminds people traveling for the 2026 FIFA World Cup to consider some important points. The event will take place in the United States, Canada, and Mexico from June 11 to July 19.

If you are going to the USA, follow simple rules. GOV.UK writes this.

Accommodation demand will be high, so book in advance. You may need to show proof of accommodation to immigration officials.

Plan ahead and sign up for email updates on travel advice for the United States. Download the official FIFA World Cup 26 app and check the World Cup 2026 website and the US Embassy London World Cup 2026 page for updates.

If you visit or transit through more than one host country, remember that entry requirements and local laws vary.

Matches will be hosted in many US cities. Other cities and tourist destinations will be busier than usual during the tournament. The Foreign Office says this.

If you have FIFA World Cup 2026 tickets from FIFA, you can make a US visa appointment through the FIFA Priority Appointment Scheduling System.

If you travel to the US by land, you may need to complete an electronic arrival/departure record. You can apply in advance or access your record online. Check if this applies to you before traveling.

If you travel with an ESTA, show proof that you have booked a journey departing the USA. If you cannot provide evidence, you may be refused entry.

If you have questions about US Customs and Border Protection, use their online Ask Compass AI tool.

Before traveling, make sure you have comprehensive travel insurance. Check that your policy includes medical cover, particularly for countries with high healthcare costs.

Medical treatment in the United States is not free, and healthcare costs can be high. Make sure your travel insurance includes cover for medical treatment and hospitalization.

Fans are getting ready for more matches, but there are rules to follow.

Buy tickets only through FIFA’s official ticketing platform and access them via the FIFA World Cup app.

Do not buy tickets from unofficial sellers, social media, or resale websites, as they may be fraudulent or rejected at the stadium.

Each ticket is linked to the purchaser’s details, and ID checks may be required upon entry. Fraudulent tickets can look legitimate but may be rejected.

Even if a ticket scans at the gate, you may be denied entry if it is flagged as invalid. Unofficial sources often inflate prices significantly.

Transport networks around stadiums will be busy, and some venues may be far from their host cities. Check the official World Cup fixtures page or the app for more information.

Local authorities may ask you to enter or leave the stadium by specific routes.

If you hire a car or use taxis in the US, check the ‘Transport Risks’ section on the Safety and Security page.

Be cautious around events and viewing areas. FIFA Fan Festivals will serve as key gathering points for local communities and visiting supporters.

In the United States, official FIFA Fan Festivals will be held in many cities.

Fan zones and public viewing areas will be available across the country. Restrictions on items that can be brought into these venues may apply.

Check the official World Cup 2026 website for information about the FIFA Fan Festivals and locations.
