With the 2026 FIFA World Cup less than a month away, all sorts of companies \u2014 from airlines<\/a><\/span> to credit card issuers<\/a><\/span> \u2014 is getting in on the action. And Uber is no exception.<\/p>\n

The rideshare and food delivery giant has launched new offerings during the tournament this summer. These features and discounts are geared for soccer fans traveling to host cities, but other travelers can benefit from some of them, too.<\/p>\n

Here’s how.<\/p>\n

New match-day transportation options<\/h2>\n

First off, Uber Shuttle services are coming to four U.S. match venues: Miami, Dallas, Boston and New York\/New Jersey. Shuttles will operate at the stadiums immediately after games to provide an easier, more affordable way to get back to your hotel.<\/p>\n

Shuttle tickets cost a flat rate of $45 in Miami, Dallas and Boston or $49 in New York \u2014 with no dreaded surge pricing. You can book a seat in advance by tapping the shuttle icon in the Uber app, then present the in-app QR code when you board.<\/p>\n

Uber is also introducing a new service called Uber Max for large groups \u2014 up to 14 passengers \u2014 traveling to or from the stadium in New York, Miami and Los Angeles during the tournament. You can order an Uber Max on-demand or book ahead using the Hourly tile on the app’s home screen.<\/p>\n

Lastly, Uber aims to help riders streamline their route to the World Cup by enhancing in-app directions across airports and stadiums. At all host city airports in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, new turn-by-turn directions will guide users directly from their gate to the Uber pickup zone. Similarly, the app can help guide you to less congested pickup areas at stadiums in San Francisco, Seattle, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Vancouver and Toronto.<\/p>\n

Another new addition: something called Travel Pass, which provides 14 days of savings on rides and food deliveries outside your home city. A pass costs $4.99 in U.S. host cities ($1.99 in Mexico, $3.99 in Canada) and offers up to $85 in total savings:<\/p>\n
