It’s almost go-time for FIFA World Cup 26, with Philly hosting six big matches at Lincoln Financial Field (or Philadelphia Stadium, as it will be known during the games).

That means it’s also go time for the half-a-million expected visitors to book a hotel for game day(s).

Luckily, Philly has an abundance of hotels — both near the stadium and throughout the city — for fans needing a place to call home during the games.

Here are some ideas on where to stay during FIFA World Cup 26 in Philadelphia:

Where can I stay near Lincoln Financial Field (aka Philadelphia Stadium)?

The stadium’s convenient location near Philadelphia International Airport means there are plenty of hotel options close to both spots.

For easy access to FIFA Fan Fest, consider booking a stay at one of the many hotels along Philadelphia’s Benjamin Franklin Parkway, a 20- to 30-minute scenic walk away from Lemon Hill. The Parkway has always been one of the best places to stay in the city, due to its central location to so many museums and attractions, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Barnes Foundation, the Rodin Museum, Calder Gardens, The Franklin Institute and The Academy of Natural Sciences.

Here are some hotel options along the Parkway:
