BBC Sport has published estimates of the costs England and Scotland football fans may face to travel to the 2026 World Cup in the United States in 2026 [1].
According to the report, England supporters will need about £6,500 each or £13,000 for two people to cover travel, accommodation, tickets, and living expenses [1]. A family of four England fans would face total costs of more than £22,000 [1].
For Scotland fans, the estimated spending is higher. Two Scotland supporters could expect to spend about £7,500 each, while a family of four would have to budget more than £25,000 [1].
BBC Sport also provided estimates for living costs over the 14- to 15-day tournament. For England fans on a low-to-mid-range budget, these costs would be around £3,000 for two people and £4,500 for a family [1]. Scotland fans have slightly higher living-cost estimates of £3,214 for two persons and £4,820 for a family, reflecting an additional day spent in the US during the tournament [1].
These figures underline the significant expense for UK fans planning to attend the World Cup in North America. The detailed cost breakdown includes flights, accommodation, match tickets, and daily expenses across the tournament period [1].
With the World Cup kicking off later this year, fans will need to finalise travel plans and budgets well in advance to secure the best arrangements [1].
