World Cup 2026 in Mexico

Watching the matches

The main action is at Estadio Azteca in the Santa Úrsula area of Coyoacán. Whether you have a ticket or not, the FIFA Fan Festival at Zócalo in the Centro Histórico will be the epicenter of fan activities. Fill your schedule with live screenings, music, and food stalls. For official updates on opening times and any changes, it's wise to keep an eye on the city's official website.

Getting around

Reaching the stadium means heading south. From central areas, take Metro Line 2 to Tasqueña, and then transfer to the Tren Ligero toward Estadio Azteca station. On match days, expect special event routes and possible changes to public transport schedules. Always allocate extra travel time.

Where fans gather

Without a stadium ticket? Mexico City has many neighborhoods offering vibrant watch-party atmospheres. Head to Condesa or Roma for a mix of lively bars and eateries. Coyoacán, closer to the stadium, presents a more relaxed vibe combined with local cafés. Centro Histórico isn't just home to the fan zone; it's also dotted with historic spots to grab a drink. Meanwhile, Polanco offers upscale venues with an emphasis on international cuisine.

Practical notes

Ensure that you check local guidelines for security and crowd-control measures around the fan-zone and stadium events. The Metro usually runs efficiently, but can get crowded during major events, so planning ahead is crucial.
