Philadelphia World Cup 2026 Travel Guide

Stadium Base

Lincoln Financial Field — 'The Linc' — is home to the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles, whose famously passionate (and demanding) fan base rivals any football supporters' group in the world for intensity and dedication. Philadelphia's soccer culture has exploded in recent years, driven by the Philadelphia Union's success in MLS and the city's growing immigrant communities. For World Cup 2026, The Linc will host multiple matches, and visiting teams can expect a hostile reception — Philadelphia fans are legendary for making opposing teams uncomfortable. The stadium's location in the Northeast Corridor provides easy rail access from New York, Washington DC, and Boston.
