England supporters travelling to Atlanta for the 2026 World Cup have been handed an extra reason to make the most of their trip.

A special ticket offer means fans can combine England's Round of 32 clash with an evening of Major League Baseball (MLB) at a heavily discounted price.

England fans in Atlanta can watch baseball for a discounted price

England supporters heading to Atlanta Stadium for their Round of 32 clash against DR Congo have been offered discounted tickets to watch the Atlanta Braves later the same day.

The Football Supporters' Association's Free Lions group has announced that England fans can receive 33% off tickets for the Braves' game on Wednesday evening, with the offer also available for fixtures on Tuesday and Thursday.

England kick off against DR Congo at midday local time at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, while first pitch at nearby Truist Park is scheduled for 7:15pm, giving supporters enough time to enjoy both events in one day.

Truist Park is around a 20-minute taxi ride from the football, making the double-header a realistic option for fans staying in Atlanta.

This is an excellent initiative for England supporters looking to experience more than just football during the World Cup.

The schedule couldn't have worked out much better, with enough time to head from Mercedes-Benz Stadium to Truist Park and enjoy two major sporting events in the same day.

Hopefully England get the job done against DR Congo first, because victory would make the evening baseball atmosphere even sweeter.
