With just a month to go before England‘s first 2026 World Cup group stage clash, fans will be counting the days until Thomas Tuchel's side kick off against Croatia at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Those travelling to follow the Three Lions across the United States, Mexico and Canada will be finalising their budgets and itineraries before making the trip, and for football fans from the UK, one item will always be high on the agenda – a pre-match pint.
On average, a pint costs around £5.50 in the UK – rising to £6.75 in London – but visitors may not be familiar with the prices they should expect to pay on the other side of the Atlantic this summer, either at the many sports bars around the host cities or at the grounds on matchday.
The cheapest pint at the tournament can be found in Mexico, where fans will be delighted to find prices as low as £2.04, while the most expensive are in the US state of California, costing as much as £10.49.
Read on as Football Ground Guide covers just how much a pint will cost at the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Mexico and Canada, breaking down prices at every host stadium.

How much will a pint cost at each 2026 World Cup stadium?
According to data from ticketing site Seatpick, there is a significant divide between the cheapest and most expensive pints at the 2026 World Cup, with numbers generally split by national borders.
Which 2026 World Cup stadium serves the cheapest pint?
A beer will be most economical at the Mexican stadia on the tournament's map, with Estadio Akron and the legendary Estadio Azteca (which recently reopened after years of redevelopment) offering a pint for just £2.04.
Additionally, while Monterrey's Estadio BBVA sees the price of a pint more than double – jumping up to £4.35 – a drink at the ground is still cheaper than the norm in the UK.
However, all of the host venues outside of Mexico feature prices above the UK average of £5.50, with each of BC Place (Vancouver), Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta), Gillette Stadium (Boston), BMO Field (Toronto) and Arrowhead Stadium (Kansas City) serving pints for £6-7, roughly London numbers.
