6 matches at Lincoln Financial Field. Dates and kickoff times can change — confirm with FIFA before you travel.

Rideshare pickup

Rideshare uses the Citizens Bank Way / Pattison Avenue corridor just north of the stadium. Surge and cancellations are common post-match; walking 3–4 blocks up Broad Street — or to the NRG subway station — is usually faster than waiting.

Public transit

SEPTA’s Broad Street Line (B/Orange) runs from Center City to NRG Station (~20 min, $2.50), a 10-minute walk to the gates — and Airbnb is sponsoring FREE rides home from NRG after all six matches, starting at halftime. From PHL, take the Airport Regional Rail, then transfer to the B Line.

Traffic to expect

The stadium sits where I-95 meets Broad Street; I-95 backs up 2–3 hours before kickoff, and police run deliberate staggered egress afterward. Parking is pre-sold ($125 group / $155 Round of 16), with no gate sales.

Local match-day tips for Philadelphia

  • Take the free post-match Broad Street Line ride home from NRG Station (sponsored, from halftime for two hours) — no other host city offers this. Leave just before the whistle to grab a seat.
  • NRG Station is a 10-minute walk north of the gates up Broad Street — the most stress-free, $0 way out of the complex.
  • The July 4 Round of 16 falls on the 250th U.S. Independence Day — expect peak crowds and downtown closures; plan transit well ahead.
  • Coming from NYC? Amtrak to 30th Street + the B Line south is far cheaper than NJ Transit’s World Cup pricing.

Philadelphia World Cup transport — FAQs

How do I get to Lincoln Financial Field without a car?

Take SEPTA’s Broad Street Line south from City Hall to NRG Station (~20 min, $2.50), a 10-minute walk to the gates. The ride home after each match is free (sponsored), from halftime through two hours post-match.

Is the July 4 match on Independence Day itself?

Yes — the Round of 16 is on Saturday, July 4, 2026, the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence, so expect heavy crowds, downtown closures and SEPTA surges. Plan ahead.

How far is Philadelphia airport (PHL) from the stadium?

Only about 6 miles (~11 min) by car — one of the shortest airport-to-stadium hops of the tournament. SEPTA’s Airport Line plus the Broad Street Line is a cheap alternative.
