About Mexico City
Mexico City — the largest Spanish-speaking metropolis in the world — will open the 2026 World Cup at Estadio Azteca, the only stadium to host two previous finals (1970 and 1986). At 2,240 m altitude, matches here demand stamina and tactical adjustment.
Getting to the stadium
The metro (Línea 2) plus a short Tren Ligero ride drops fans at the stadium entrance in ~45 minutes from Zócalo. Uber and local taxis run roughly MX$250–400 on match days.
Local tip
💡 The traditional pre-match spot is "La Cantina del Tío Pepe" near the Santa Úrsula metro — try the mezcal and tlayudas.
