FIFA World Cup 2026™ Vancouver
Know Before You go
Vancouver is an accessible, active and public transit-friendly city. The best way to get around to FIFA World Cup 2026™ events and other destinations is to take public transit, walk, bike and roll. During the tournament, public transportation will be in high use across Vancouver. Keep up to date on matchdays and times, road closures, and plan your trip accordingly.
A City for Everyone
Vancouver is a city built on inclusion. Located on the unceded ancestral territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations, Vancouver is proud to be a City of Reconciliation and home to many diverse communities. Everyone, visitors and residents alike, should feel safe, welcomed and respected.
MATCHES
Matches will take place at BC Place Vancouver located in downtown Vancouver. The best way to get to matches at the stadium is on public transit. Extra transit service will be added to accommodate spectators. If you’re staying downtown, then walking to the stadium is also a great option. Additionally, make use of our e-bike or e-scooter share systems, ride-hailing providers or bring your own bike and use our extensive bike routes.
FIFA FAN FESTIVAL™ VANCOUVER
The FIFA Fan Festival™ Vancouver will take place in Hastings Park on the PNE grounds. There will be many ways to get there, but no matter how you travel we recommend that you arrive early to allow time at the gates for lining up, or to find parking.
