About This Guide
When the World Cup comes to Boston in 2026, it will be a citywide moment felt well beyond the stadium. This guide was created by Boston 25 to help residents and visitors experience Boston during the tournament, from matchday gatherings to the neighborhoods, food, and events that define the city.
Boston 25 is Greater Boston’s local FOX television station. FOX is the U.S. broadcast partner for the World Cup, and as the local affiliate, Boston 25 plays a role in covering how this global event connects with the community it serves. Creating a city-focused guide for an event of this scale is a natural extension of that responsibility. This site is designed to help people navigate Boston during the tournament, whether they are attending matches, watching with friends, or exploring the city in between.
As a local news organization, Boston 25 serves Greater Boston every day with reporting shaped by the people, places, and culture of the region. This guide builds on that local perspective by offering practical recommendations and context informed by those who live and work here.
Boston 25 is part of Cox Media Group, which operates local television stations across the country with a focus on trusted journalism and community service.
