Cheap World Cup 2026 flights – when to book?

Finding cheap World Cup 2026 flights is all about timing and smart choices. Since the tournament takes place in peak season (June and July), fares typically rise faster than usual. Book early and stay flexible to lock in great deals. ✈️

When to book?

The sweet spot is usually 5–8 months in advance. That’s when prices are often lowest—and availability is still strong. As the tournament gets closer, popular routes can sell out and prices climb quickly.

💡 Tips to fly cheaper

  • Stay flexible with travel dates: Tuesday or Wednesday flights are often cheaper.

  • Compare departure airports: Flying from Zurich, Geneva or Basel can make a real difference.

  • Check alternative routes: One-stop itineraries can be cheaper than direct flights.

  • Book fast when you spot a deal: Prices to host cities like New York, Los Angeles, Toronto or Mexico City change quickly.

Travel advice for the World Cup 2026 in the USA, Mexico and Canada

Visa and travel documents

As a traveller from Switzerland, you typically don’t need a traditional visa—but you do need the right entry authorisations:

  • USA: ESTA required before departure (for tourist stays up to 90 days under the Visa Waiver Program).

  • Canada: eTA required when arriving by air (including transit).

  • Mexico: No visa for tourist stays up to 180 days; valid passport required. You may also need the entry form (FMM, often digital or issued on arrival, depending on how you enter).

Make sure your passport is valid for your entire trip and apply for ESTA/eTA in good time. Always check the latest entry requirements before you travel.

From airport to stadium – getting around

Every host city offers solid transport options from the airport to your hotel or straight to the stadium. Whether you fly to the USA, Canada or Mexico, infrastructure is ready for big crowds. 🚇

You can usually count on:

  • Metro and light rail in cities like New York, Los Angeles, Toronto and Vancouver.

  • Airport shuttles to city centres and key hubs.

  • Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft.

  • Taxis with fixed or regulated fares.

Matchdays can get busy—so give yourself extra time.

Where to stay during the World Cup 2026?

Across all host cities you’ll find plenty of options: hotels, hostels, apartments and premium stays—especially useful around hotspots like New York/New Jersey, Los Angeles, Mexico City and Toronto.

Tips for a comfortable (and affordable) World Cup trip:

  • Pick a place close to the stadium or on a fast metro/bus line.

  • Book early—hotel prices rise quickly around the tournament.

  • Check nearby cities for budget-friendly alternatives.

With a bit of planning, you’ll easily find the right stay for your World Cup trip. 🏨
