FIFA World Cup 2026 at Lincoln Financial Field
All World Cup Soccer Events
Philadelphia’s summer calendar gets a global spotlight in 2026, hosting six matches from June 14 to July 4, including five group-stage matches and a Round of 16 game that falls on the United States’ 250th birthday. That timing puts matchday right in the middle of the city’s biggest patriotic moment, with Old City, the Parkway, and South Philly all in play for a full-day plan. If World Cup 2026 tickets are on your radar, this is a host stop built for history, food, and fast logistics.
During the tournament, Lincoln Financial Field operates as "Philadelphia Stadium," and it is set up to move big crowds through wide concourses and steep sightlines that keep the field view clean. Before you choose a section, pull up the Lincoln Financial Field seating chart and think about what you want most: being close to the supporters’ noise or having a higher angle for tactics and shape. The group-stage slate features teams like Brazil, France, Ecuador, and one matchup already locked in: Croatia vs. Ghana on June 27.
Pick your matchday first, then build outward: SEPTA access to the Sports Complex, your arrival window for security, and a pregame loop that fits your style, from a quick South Philly bite to a longer Center City stop. With five group games from June 14-27 and the Round of 16 on July 4, Philadelphia lets you go all-in for a weekend or keep it simple with one perfect night under the lights.
