FIFA WORLD CUP 2026

In June 2026, FIFA World Cup matches will be held at Gillette Stadium (rebranded to Boston Stadium for the event) in Foxborough. This will be a major event for the region and will have a significant impact on our community.

The Town understands that this planning process has been lengthy and complex, and that match days will not feel like a typical day in Foxborough. Residents should expect heavier traffic, increased activity near the stadium and along major routes, changes to normal travel patterns, and other temporary disruptions.

Town staff have been and continue to work closely with state, regional, and federal partners to plan for transportation, public safety, infrastructure, emergency response, communications, and other community needs.

This page is intended to serve as a reliable source of official information for residents, businesses, and members of the public. Our goal is to help the community stay informed, understand what to expect, and prepare as match days get closer.

Some of the resources linked below may be designed for people attending the matches, but they are also useful for residents and local businesses. These resources can help explain transportation plans, parking restrictions, public safety measures, commuter impacts, and other match day details.

Match days will not be the same as a typical Patriots game, concert, or stadium event. Residents should expect heavier traffic, longer travel times, delays near Gillette Stadium, and impacts on major roads in Foxborough and the surrounding area.

The Town understands this may be frustrating and disruptive, especially for residents trying to get to work, class, appointments, errands, or home.

Residents are encouraged to plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and avoid unnecessary travel during peak periods when possible.
