🇲🇽 Mexico · World Cup 2026 Host City

Mexico City at the 2026 World Cup

Mexico City hosts the opening match at the iconic Estadio Azteca, the only venue to have staged three World Cups. Expect high altitude (2,240m), a food scene built around tacos al pastor and mezcal bars, and pre-match crowds that spill from Coyoacán to the Zócalo.

Getting around on match day

From MEX airport, take the Metrobús Line 4 or a registered taxi (~45 min to Coyoacán, ~60 to the stadium in traffic). Match-day rideshare surges 2–3× near Azteca; the Tren Ligero to Xotepingo puts you within walking distance and avoids the jam.
