2026 FIFA World Cup faces soaring stadium food prices and busy match lineup

2026 World Cup stadium food prices match schedule beer price Mexico high-priced items

Stadium food and drink prices at the 2026 FIFA World Cup have drawn fan criticism. In Mexico City, beers are sold for 299‑310 pesos, nearly matching the country's daily minimum wage, while items such as a $75 lobster‑topped fries and a $40 "Empanada Mundial" are also on offer. Fans on social media have called the pricing a "robbery." In contrast, Atlanta has kept prices low, with pizza at $3 and beer starting at $8, earning praise from attendees.

The tournament schedule is packed, with Group G, H and I matches taking place on June 26‑27. Highlights include Norway vs France in Boston, Senegal vs Iraq in Toronto, Uruguay vs Spain in Guadalajara, and Egypt vs Iran in Seattle. Additional games feature New Zealand vs Belgium in Vancouver and Saudi Arabia vs Green Bahrain in Houston. All matches are broadcast live on TRT 1 and TRT Spor channels.
