The World Cup is being held across North America this year − including in Philadelphia.
Six matches will be held in the City of Brotherly Love. If you’ve secured tickets to one of the games, you’re well on your way there.

Parking passes for oversized vehicles cost $500 per game.
While FIFA has not provided exact times, it says parking lots open at least four hours prior to match state. Due to “heightened security measures and road closures,” attendees are urged to arrive at least three hours early.
ADA-accessible parking is available. A parking pass and a valid DMV-issued license plate and/or placard for people with a disability will be required to enter the lot.
Can you Uber or Lyft to the Philly World Cup?
Yes, but expect the same delays you would for any major sporting event. Additionally, surge pricing is common.
Things to note:
- There’s no official rideshare zone at Lincoln Financial Field
- Pickups are typically arranged near:
- Pattison Avenue
- Broad Street corners
- Areas farther from the main gates to avoid gridlock
