FIFA World Cup 2026:
Resident Information and Resources

The World Cup is coming to Foxborough!

This global event will bring energy, visitors, and significant activity to our area. This page outlines what residents should expect, how daily life may be impacted, and how to stay informed before and during match days.

Transportation & Traffic Impacts

Travel conditions will NOT be the same as a regular game day!!

The World Cup is expected to bring a much larger number of visitors than a typical Patriots game or concert. With a little planning ahead, residents can navigate match days more smoothly. Here are a few tips to help you prepare:

• The Foxborough MBTA Train Station will be closed to commuters on game days.

• Avoid unnecessary travel on match days.

• Allow extra time for work, appointments, and school pick-ups.

• Consider adjusting your normal schedules where possible.

• Sign up for FoxAlerts to receive official Town and public safety updates in real-time!

International Visitors

Foxborough will welcome thousands of visitors from around the world during the FIFA World Cup!

Many visitors will speak different languages and may be unfamiliar with local laws, transportation systems, and community norms. This is normal for an event of this size and provides an opportunity for us to show what makes Foxborough such an amazing, welcoming community.

Residents and businesses can help by:

• Using clear, simple language when offering directions or assistance.

• Using technological tools when helpful, such as Google Translate.

• Providing easy-to-read signage with clear symbols when possible.

• Showing patience and empathy in busy or high-stress situations.

• Remembering that visitors may not know local rules or expectations.

Hosting the world is a big moment for our Town - a little extra patience and compassion will go a long way!

At the same time, all local, state, and federal laws apply to everyone. Respectful, lawful, and safe behavior is expected from both residents and visitors.
