Travelling Fans Forum was started in 2025 by a small editorial team who realised, while planning their own World Cup 2026 trips, that nobody was writing about this tournament the way football supporters actually travel. We are not journalists; we are supporters who took notes.
Last updated · June 2026
Travelling Fans Forum is an editorial publication for football supporters travelling to FIFA World Cup 2026. We cover the three host nations (United States, Canada and Mexico), all 16 host cities, all 16 stadiums, and the cross-border journeys that connect them. We focus on the practical: paperwork, hotels, transport, and safety.
Everything we publish is written by an editorial team of independent travel writers and football supporters. We accept advertising and earn affiliate commission from partner bookings (Booking.com, Expedia, Skyscanner), but our editorial recommendations are independent of those relationships. If a city is hard, we say so. If a hotel is overpriced, we say so.
Every article on Travelling Fans Forum is fact-checked at publication and reviewed every 90 days during the build-up to the tournament. Hotel recommendations are made on the basis of distance-to-stadium, transit accessibility, guest review scores, and (where possible) on-the-ground verification by a team member or a trusted local correspondent. We accept no payment for editorial placement.
Where we make a recommendation that earns us affiliate commission — for example, a hotel booking link to Booking.com — we make that disclosure visible at the point of click. See our affiliate disclosure below.
For editorial enquiries, corrections, partnership proposals or any other matter, email [email protected]. We aim to reply within three working days.

We’re always looking for ground-truth from supporters who have arrived in host cities ahead of us. If you’ve travelled to one of the 16 cities recently and have an observation worth sharing, write to us. We pay modest fees for verified, published contributions.
Travelling Fans Forum participates in affiliate programs with Booking.com, Expedia Group (including Expedia, Hotels.com and Vrbo), Skyscanner, and a small number of insurance and eSIM partners. When you click a link marked “Ad” or “Sponsored” on this site and complete a qualifying booking, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
This commission funds our editorial work. It does not influence our recommendations: we recommend hotels and routes on merit, not on commission rate. We routinely write about routes and providers we don’t earn commission on.
If you spot an error, dispute a recommendation, or believe we have published inaccurate information, please email [email protected]. We publish corrections at the foot of the affected article.
