Your Complete Guide to
From the Metro to the stadium, from street tacos to rooftop mezcal — everything you need to experience the greatest show on Earth in the world's most electric city.
Official Schedule
Five historic matches at the only stadium to host three World Cups. The magic of Mexico City awaits.
Getting to the Stadium
Estadio Azteca is in the south of the city. Skip the traffic — public transport is your best friend on match day.
The fastest and cheapest way. Highly recommended on match days. Avoid driving at all costs.
City-operated buses serve corridors around Calzada de Tlalpan near the stadium. Great backup option.
Available but expect heavy delays. Add at least 90 minutes from Roma or Condesa. Use only for non-match days if possible.
Arrive 2–3 hours early to soak up the pre-match atmosphere. Evening games get breezy — bring a light layer.
Pro Tip: The Mexico City Metro app (iOS & Android) gives you real-time directions from anywhere in the city. Download it before you arrive. Note that certain cars are pink "vagones exclusivos" — reserved for women and children under 12. Respect this at all times.
