FIFA World Cup 2026 is the largest World Cup ever—48 teams, 16 host cities, and three countries. For fans and executives who want to catch the biggest matches without the hassle of commercial travel, private jet access to host cities is the most efficient way to move between venues and games.

Why Fly Private to the World Cup?

Commercial airports in host cities will be packed from June 11 through the July 19 final. Private aviation lets you use reliever and executive airports closer to stadiums, avoid long security lines, and fit multiple match days in different cities into a single trip. Whether you’re following your national team or chasing the knockout stages, private jet travel keeps your schedule in your control.

USA Host Cities & Key Airports

Eleven U.S. venues will host matches. Fly into dedicated private and reliever airports where possible for the fastest transfer to the stadium.

• Los Angeles (SoFi Stadium, Inglewood): Van Nuys (KVNY) or Los Angeles International (KLAX)—SoFi hosts the USA’s opening match on June 12.
• New York/New Jersey (MetLife Stadium, Final): Teterboro (KTEB) or Newark (KEWR)—the July 19 final is here.
• Dallas (AT&T Stadium): Dallas Love Field (KDAL) or Dallas/Fort Worth (KDFW)—one of the busiest venues with nine matches.
• Atlanta (Mercedes-Benz Stadium): DeKalb-Peachtree (KPDK) or Hartsfield-Jackson (KATL)—also hosting nine matches.
• Miami (Hard Rock Stadium): Miami International (KMIA) or Opa-locka (KOPF) for private operations.
• San Francisco Bay Area (Levi’s Stadium): San Jose (KSJC) or Oakland (KOAK).
• Seattle (Lumen Field), Houston (NRG Stadium), Kansas City (Arrowhead), Boston (Gillette Stadium), Philadelphia (Lincoln Financial Field): Each has nearby commercial and/or executive airports for private arrivals.

Canada Host Cities

Canada’s two host cities are easy to reach by private jet:

• Toronto (BMO Field): Toronto Pearson (CYYZ) or Billy Bishop Toronto City (CYTZ)—Canada opens Group B here on June 12.
• Vancouver (BC Place): Vancouver International (CYVR)—gateway to Pacific coast matches.

Mexico Host Cities

Mexico’s three venues include the iconic Azteca, which will host the very first match of the tournament:

• Mexico City (Estadio Azteca): Mexico City International (MMMX)—opening match: Mexico vs. South Africa, June 11, 2026.
• Guadalajara (Estadio Akron): Guadalajara (MMGL).
• Monterrey (Estadio BBVA): Monterrey (MMMY).

Planning a Multi-City World Cup Trip

With group stage in one host country and knockouts in another, many fans will want to hit multiple cities. Private jet travel makes it practical to do Los Angeles → Mexico City → Dallas → New York/New Jersey in one trip, with minimal time lost in terminals. Book early for peak dates: opening weekend (June 11–12), round of 16 and quarterfinals (early July), and the final weekend (July 18–19).

From the first whistle at the Azteca to the final at MetLife, flying private to FIFA World Cup 2026 host cities is the most flexible and comfortable way to experience the tournament.
