Can I drive between World Cup host cities?

Yes, driving between many host city pairs is feasible, but traffic, border crossings (US/Canada), and parking scarcity near stadiums will make driving on match day complicated.

  • Vancouver to Seattle: 143 miles, 2-3 hours without border delays 

  • Philadelphia to New York: 94 miles, ~100 minutes by car 

  • Driving eliminates need to navigate airline security but roads will be congested, especially near stadiums on match days

  • Crossing between US/Canada requires passport or appropriate travel documents and may involve long wait times

  • Parking permits must be pre-purchased online — no on-site payment
