FIFA World Cup 2026 is Coming to Boston
Boston is excited to be hosting matches at Gillette Stadium in June + July 2026!
It’s been over 30 years since the United States has hosted the men’s FIFA World Cup and over 20 years since we hosted the women’s World Cup! So to say Boston is excited about the upcoming soccer (fútbol) matches is an understatement. Behind the scenes planning has been in the works for years and infrastructure logistics like changing the field from turf to natural grass are planned. Gillette Stadium will be transformed to ‘Boston Stadium‘ during the tournament, will all traces of Patriots and NE Revolution logos removed!

Tickets:
Official tickets are sold exclusively through FIFA’s website, and be forewarned – the prices are pretty expensive already! You can register for ticket updates and future sales windows at FIFA.com/tickets. Resale tickets are also available on sites like StubHub, Ticketmaster, etc. – but at a much higher price. If you are able to secure a ticket in the lottery, I would suggest doing so – most likely you won’t have any trouble selling since tickets any match will be in demand!
Transportation:
Because Gillette (aka Boston) Stadium is in Foxboro — not downtown Boston — organizers are expanding the MBTA Commuter Rail availability to/from the stadium. Parking and shuttle services will be available, but it is highly recommended to take public transportation.
The Lenox is the perfect spot to stay for your FIFA World Cup trip – our ideal location in the Back Bay neighborhood makes it easy to enjoy all the FIFA-related festivities in Boston. For current updates and all things FIFA World Cup related, please be sure to visit Meet BOSTON site here.
