Think you know the bag rules?
Most fans get at least 3 wrong — and find out the hard way at the gates.
One Policy. All 16 Stadiums.
The 2026 World Cup enforces a single bag policy across every host venue in the USA, Canada and Mexico. Same rules in New York, Mexico City and Vancouver.
Important: If you arrive with a non-compliant bag you will be turned away. Stadiums will not store your bag. Return to your hotel or vehicle.
