World Cup Travel FAQ

How far in advance should I book for the 2026 World Cup?
As early as possible. Host city hotels typically see 30-50% price increases as the tournament approaches. Booking now with free cancellation locks in today's rates and gives you flexibility to adjust later.
Is it better to stay near the stadium or in the city center?
It depends on your priorities. Staying near the stadium cuts commute stress on match days. Staying in the city center gives you more restaurants, nightlife, and things to do between games. Many fans do a mix — a night or two near the venue, then move to the city.
Should I rent a car for the World Cup?
Check the city's transit options first. Cities like Seattle and Philadelphia have stadiums on public transit lines. Others like Dallas and Boston require a car or rideshare to reach the venue. We include transport tips for each city.
Can I get a refund if my team doesn't advance?
Refund policies depend on the property, not the tournament. Book hotels with free cancellation through Expedia or Hotels.com so you can cancel if your plans change. Vrbo cancellation policies vary by owner — check before booking.
