The FIFA World Cup 2026 is coming to our area soon – and so are millions of visitors, which is anticipated to generate significant traffic congestion and delays in June and July. Matches will take place in East Rutherford, New Jersey (NYNJ Stadium) and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (Philadelphia Field) from June 11 through July 19.
To help reduce congestion as much as possible and avoid getting stuck in traffic, the NJ Department of Transportation is strongly encouraging residents to:
-Skip non-essential travel on match days
-Plan alternate routes for commutes
-Avoid driving near stadiums where matches are happening between 5 hours before and 5 hours after kickoff
--If travel is essential, try to carpool
-Check for travel alerts at 511nj.org
