2026 World Cup host city announces free transport for supporters after all six matches

Philadelphia has become the latest 2026 World Cup host city to offer fans a far cheaper way of getting to and from games.

And unlike some other cities, supporters will not have to pay anything at all to get home.

Philadelphia offers free transport to Lincoln Financial Field at the 2026 World Cup

Airbnb has joined forces with Philadelphia Soccer 2026 to provide free journeys home for supporters after every World Cup match in the city.

The company will sponsor free rides on Philadelphia’s Broad Street Line after all six matches at Lincoln Financial Field.

The free transport will be available following every game hosted in Philadelphia, including matches involving Brazil and France.

Organisers say the move is designed to remove transport barriers and make sure all supporters can get home safely after matches.

The Broad Street Line connects directly to the stadium area and is one of the main routes used by supporters travelling to and from games.

Philadelphia is now one of the few World Cup host cities to announce affordable or free transport plans for supporters.

Kansas City has already confirmed $15 (£11) return buses to matches, while Philadelphia has gone one step further by making post-match travel completely free.

Meanwhile, supporters attending games in New York and New Jersey could face train fares of more than $100 (£75), while travel to matches in Boston is expected to cost around $80 (£60).

FGG says: Philadelphia putting 2026 World Cup fans first

This is exactly the sort of thing fans want to see ahead of the World Cup.

Supporters are already being hit by expensive tickets, hotels and flights, so asking them to pay another huge amount just to get to and from the stadium feels excessive.

Philadelphia deserves credit for finding a way to make travel easier and more affordable.

Like Kansas City, it shows that not every World Cup host city has to treat supporters as an opportunity to make more money.
