KNOW BEFORE
YOU GO.

At most venues, no. Outside water and beverages are prohibited across all 16 host stadiums. Free water stations are located inside every venue. Some stadiums may allow one factory-sealed plastic bottle under 20oz — check your specific stadium's official page for the latest policy before match day.

Only if it is a small clutch under 4.5×6.5 inches in any color. All other non-clear bags — including tote bags, shopping bags, drawstring bags, and non-clear purses — are turned away. Staff will not make exceptions. If your bag does not comply, you will need to return it to your car or bag storage before entry.

The decision is made 24–48 hours before kickoff based on weather forecasts. AT&T Stadium (Dallas) and Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta) both have retractable roofs. Follow each stadium's official account on social media for match-day status updates. NRG Stadium in Houston is fully enclosed with climate control regardless of weather.

Take DART light rail to the Irving/Las Colinas station, then connect to the official shuttle service to AT&T Stadium in Arlington. Rideshare services (Uber, Lyft) drop off at designated zones near the venue. There is no direct public transit connection — plan at least 90 minutes travel time from central Dallas.

Contact the stadium's accessibility office at least 72 hours before your match with documentation of your dietary or medical requirement. Most venues accommodate religious dietary needs, allergies, and medical nutrition needs on a case-by-case basis. Do not arrive without prior approval and expect to be waved through.

Mandatory cooling breaks introduced following test events that recorded dangerous heat on the pitch. When pitch temperature exceeds the threshold, breaks occur around the 30th and 75th minute of play. Players receive water and shade. Fans in open-air venues should use these breaks to hydrate as well. The breaks are standard in matches at high-temperature venues.

No. MetLife Stadium — host of 8 matches including the Final — prohibits backpacks of any size. This means hiking packs, daypacks, school bags, sling bags, and diaper bags with backpack straps are all rejected at the gate. The only permitted bag options are: a clear bag no larger than 12×6×12 inches, or a small non-clear clutch purse no larger than 4.5×6.5 inches. Security staff are trained to reject non-compliant bags — there is no "it's small, it's fine" exception.

AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX sits in one of the hottest summer climates in the country. June exterior temperatures regularly reach 97–102°F (36–39°C) with high UV index. The retractable roof closes when temperatures make exterior conditions unsafe, which triggers air conditioning. However, the decision is made 24–48 hours before each match. If the roof stays open, heat inside the bowl builds significantly. The walk from remote parking lots to the stadium — 10 to 25 minutes in direct sun — is where heat exhaustion cases most commonly occur. Hydrate heavily before arriving and use the official shuttle from DART rail where possible.

SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA enforces the NFL/event standard clear bag policy for all matches. Permitted bags: (1) one clear plastic or vinyl bag not exceeding 12 inches × 6 inches × 12 inches; or (2) one small clutch purse, approximately 4.5 inches × 6.5 inches, with or without a handle or strap, in any color. Your clear bag may contain your wallet, phone, keys, sunscreen (non-aerosol, under 3.4oz), medication, and portable charger (under 100Wh). Prohibited regardless of size: backpacks, tote bags, non-clear purses above clutch size, drawstring bags, and fanny packs above the permitted dimensions.

No direct rail or metro serves Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. The Metrorail does not extend to the venue. For this reason, the event organizers will operate official shuttle services from central Miami pickup points — details will be confirmed closer to the tournament. Ride-share (Uber/Lyft) is an option but expect heavy surge pricing on match days. If you drive, the stadium has extensive on-site parking, but traffic egress post-match can take 60–90 minutes. Plan your itinerary around the transit limitation early.

Items prohibited at every host venue: backpacks (any size), non-clear bags above clutch size, outside food and beverages, aerosol cans (including aerosol sunscreen), umbrellas of any size, selfie sticks, monopods, and tripods, professional cameras with interchangeable or detachable lenses, laser pointers, political signage or banners, noisemakers (vuvuzelas vary — check each venue), alcohol brought from outside, and weapons of any kind. Some venues add their own restrictions on top of this base list. Always check the specific stadium's page within 48 hours of your match for any additions or changes.
