# Mexico - 2026 FIFA World Cup guide

Mexico hosts the opening match at Estadio Azteca (Mexico City), plus Guadalajara and Monterrey - often the most affordable base for the tournament.

## Entry & visas
- Many nationalities enter visa-free for tourism; a valid US, Canada, UK, Schengen or Japan visa also grants entry for many others.
- You'll receive an FMM tourist permit on arrival - keep it for your departure.
- Confirm requirements at gob.mx/inm.

## Getting around
- Domestic flights (Aeroméxico, Volaris, VivaAerobús) connect the three host cities cheaply.
- Comfortable long-distance buses (ETN, Primera Plus) are a solid alternative.
- In cities, use official taxis or Uber/Didi.

## Good to know
- Mexico City sits at ~2,240 m altitude - pace yourself on day one.
- Carry some pesos; cards are widely accepted in the cities.
- Basing in Mexico can cut overall trip costs significantly versus the US.
