FIFA World Cup 2026 Travel Packages & Fan Guide

Updated October 2025

Plan Early, Travel Smarter, and Experience the World’s Greatest Tournament Like Never Before

The FIFA World Cup is more than a tournament—it’s a global celebration of culture, unity, and the beautiful game. For fans, attending the World Cup is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Whether you dream of cheering from the stands or soaking in the atmosphere at a lively fan zone, planning ahead is key to turning that dream into reality.

Why Travel for the World Cup 2026

The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be the largest in history, spanning 16 host cities across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. This expanded format means more matches, more fans, and more opportunities to be part of history. From passionate chants to spontaneous street celebrations, nothing compares to the energy surrounding this global event.

Attending the World Cup isn’t just about the matches—it’s about exploring the host nations, connecting with fans from around the world, and discovering the culture behind every city.

Plan Early, Score Better Deals

Demand for World Cup travel will be massive, and availability will disappear fast. Booking flights, hotels, and match tickets early is essential. Work with a travel advisor who understands international sporting events and can help you:

  • Secure ticket-inclusive packages through trusted providers

  • Navigate transportation logistics between cities

  • Find the best hotel locations near stadiums and fan zones

  • Add pre- and post-match excursions for a complete vacation

At Beyond the Castle Travel, we curate packages that put fans first—saving you time, stress, and last-minute surprises.
