2026 World Cup Travel Guide: What Fans Need to Know

Explore North America: A Travel Guide for World Cup Fans

The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be the biggest tournament in history – with 48 teams, 3 host nations, and a predicted 6 million fans traveling globally to experience the action across USA, Canada, and Mexico.

With so many people crossing international borders, travel logistics will become more complex than ever before. That’s where TravelDoc steps in – ensuring fans can focus on football, not the paperwork.

Simplifying Travel Across Three Countries

For the first time ever, the World Cup will take place across three countries. But each host - USA, Canada, and Mexico - has different visa and entry rules.

With TravelDoc, fans can instantly check whether they meet the entry requirements for all three destinations. The platform provides real-time Go/No-Go guidance, helping passengers avoid being denied boarding or delayed at immigration.

Supporting Flexible, Last-Minute Travel Plans

World Cup travel isn’t always predictable. Fans may extend their trip if their team progresses or cut it short if they’re knocked out early.

TravelDoc makes it easy to stay compliant, even when plans change. The tool checks whether a visa extension is needed and helps travellers avoid unintentional overstays and related fines.

Reducing Airport and Border Congestion

With millions moving between cities and countries, airport queues and border delays are inevitable. TravelDoc helps reduce this pressure in two key ways:

  • Airline Integration: Enables automated document checks at check-in, reducing processing time.
  • Border Efficiency: Helps immigration teams pre-screen passengers, improving flow at checkpoints.

Keeping Up with Rule Changes

Government travel policies can change quickly - especially during high-profile global events.

TravelDoc continually monitors global regulations and updates passengers with real-time alerts. Whether it’s a new health requirement or a temporary visa change, fans will be the first to know and can adjust their plans accordingly.
