Both hubby and I like soccer and we live in NY so we might. I am assuming 2026 will be back in summer again. I have never been to a WC game so it might be worth it.

Since SoFi stadium is a West Coast Host - I might actually go - but for the experience really, because I'm not a huge soccer fan.

My twelve-year-olds are soccer-obsessed so for sure we will go (my university's field is a practice site!)

Yay!! My family definitely wants to attend a game--we talked about planning our 2026 family vacation around the World Cup. At first we were talking about going to one of the cities closest to us but we've got new passports so now we want to go to one (or more!) of the Canada or Mexico games.

The US will host 60 of the 80 matches in the tournament according to reports, including every game from the quarter-final onwards. Canada and Mexico will host 10 matches each. I don't think it's been decided which cities will host the quarter final onward games yet though.
It's going to be pretty costly for a number of genuine fans following their country's team when they have the added expense of having to fly from one city/state to the other - possibly thousands of miles.

We had the privilege of seeing a game in Dallas in 1996! It was about a six hour drive.
KC is so close for us and I am SUPER excited!!

How will they be sold? I’m honestly not sure. Because my DH is a disabled retired veteran, my first stop is always with our local military base. Large sporting events almost always set aside tickets for the military

I’m not a huge soccer fan but our best friends are, so we’ll likely attend at least one of the Houston games with them.

Large sporting events almost always set aside tickets for the military They’re normally allocated through FIFA . It will depend what arrangements they will make with FIFA. Details are not there yet but will probably after the 2022 one has finished. link
Do make sure where you buy them as every time people get caught with counterfeit tickets that are bought on the internet.

My DS would love an opportunity to see Uruguay, so I'm sure we'll attend a few games.

My DW is a huge football fan but is boycotting the 2022 WC for human rights reasons. We may end up boycotting the 2026 WC for the same reasons.

World Cup is HUGE in Toronto. The chances of me getting tickets are slim to none.

We are huge fans. We will definitely be attending. The SF location is local, but I’m sure we will travel to some of the other venues. Very excited.

My family would definitely be interested in attending if we can get tickets.
Both Dallas and Kansas City are an easy drive from where we live.
