Philadelphia to Provide Free Transport for Fans After World Cup Games

Airbnb will cover return Broad Street Line fares for fans after all six matches, while regular $2.90 trips to Lincoln Financial Field still apply.

  • On Monday, Philadelphia Soccer 2026 announced that Airbnb will sponsor free SEPTA Broad Street Line rides home from NRG Station after all six World Cup matches at Lincoln Financial Field this summer.
  • Unlike other host cities like Boston and New York, where fans face 'eye-watering fares' reaching $150, Airbnb's sponsorship aims to make tournament travel accessible and inclusive for all attendees.
  • Free rides begin at halftime and continue for two hours after each match ends. SEPTA General Manager Scott A. Sauer called the B Line 'the best way to get to and from the Sports Complex.'
  • Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro touted the partnership, noting his administration invested millions in SEPTA service, while Meg Kane, CEO of Philadelphia Soccer 2026, emphasized the 'authentic Philadelphia experience' the transit line provides.
  • City officials are also expanding bus capacity for the five-week FIFA Fan Festival at Fairmount Park, where they expect up to 25,000 daily visitors during watch parties.
