Getting around Monterrey during the 2026 World Cup
Getting around Monterrey is most efficient by public transit. Metrorrey Line 2 reaches the stadium via Sendero station and shuttle. Rideshare and taxis fill the gaps; renting a car is rarely worth it for fans staying within the city.
The 2026 World Cup brings several hundred thousand visitors to Monterrey during the tournament window. Traffic surges around match days, so transit and rideshare become noticeably faster than driving.
Transit network
Metrorrey Line 2 reaches the stadium via Sendero station and shuttle. Match-day transit is often free or discounted with a valid ticket — check QR code activation.
Rideshare
Uber, Lyft and (in Mexico) Didi are widely available. Surge pricing on match days can triple normal rates — booking 15 minutes before final whistle locks in lower fares.
Walking
Monterrey's central districts are walkable. Walking is often the fastest option in 1–2 km radius around busy match-day hubs.
Bikes and scooters
Mexico bike-share programs are expanding service for the tournament. Many host cities provide bike valet at the stadium.
Car rental
Rental car prices spike 200–400% on match days. Inflexible parking around Estadio BBVA, plus city centre congestion, make rental a poor option unless you are venturing out of the city. If you must rent, pre-book through the airport before arrival.
Accessibility
Most Monterrey transit is wheelchair-accessible. Specific accessibility routing to Estadio BBVA is available in the FIFA app under match-day travel.
