Estimates for ~45 mi / ~67 min at Tourch's fixed rates (no surge). Match-day traffic adds time, not surge multipliers. Final fare is confirmed at booking.

Where to get picked up

Uber and DiDi both operate in Mexico City. On match days, security cordons keep cars a few hundred metres from the gates — pre-book in the app and walk the final stretch. Afterward, walk 10–15 minutes from the stadium before requesting a pickup; surge and waits are extreme at the perimeter, especially for the June 11 opener.

Transit alternative

The cheapest, most reliable route is Metro Line 2 (Blue) south to Tasqueña, then the Tren Ligero light rail to its dedicated Estadio Azteca station, steps from the gates. Total fare is about 8 MXN (under $0.50). The light rail runs extra frequency on event days.

Match-day traffic

Estadio Azteca sits on Calzada de Tlalpan in the south of the city, which gridlocks for 2–3 km each way on match days; Periférico Sur and Insurgentes Sur also back up, with perimeter closures 3–4 hours before kickoff. The stadium is at 2,240 m altitude — pace yourself.
