Parking passes at 2026 World Cup will cost as much as $175 per vehicle | World Cup 2026

World Cup ticket holders can expect to spend a lot of money to park their cars at next year’s tournament, with prices on Fifa’s website reaching up to $175 per parking pass.

First reported by The Athletic, the numbers are significant in the car-dependent United States – one of three tournament hosts, along with Canada and Mexico – where many venues are not easily accessible by public transport.

A “general parking” pass for the July 14 semifinal at AT&T Stadium in Dallas was listed at $175 Tuesday, while the price of parking at a group stage game was listed at $75. Parking at a Kansas City quarterfinal game at Arrowhead Stadium on July 11 would cost ticket holders $125, while the price for group stage matches was $75. Fifa, which used dynamic pricing for the first phase of tournament ticket sales, had seats for the group stage starting at $60.

Although the prices seem high for fans outside the United States, they are comparable to the costs of NFL games in these stadiums. The cheapest ticket on resale for the Philadelphia Eagles vs. Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium on Nov. 23 is $95, while parking prices for the upcoming Kansas City Chiefs home game at Arrowhead start at $69.

While stadiums at the last World Cup in Qatar were generally easily accessible by public transportation – as are most stadiums in Europe – the same is not true for many 2026 World Cup venues, including those in Kansas City and Dallas, although shuttle and rideshare services will be available.

As of Tuesday, only a handful of the 16 World Cup venues in Canada, Mexico and the United States had parking passes for sale online. Mexico City, which will host the first match of the tournament, and New York/New Jersey, which will host the final, were among the cities that did not yet have parking. MetLife Stadium in New York/New Jersey is accessible by public transportation, although the process is not always smooth.

Fifa, which has already been criticized over the cost of tickets to the 2026 World Cup, is expected to earn more than $10 billion from the tournament. He said the revenue would be reinvested to help grow the game across the world.
