Lincoln_Financial_Field,_Philadelphia

Quick Introduction

Lincoln Financial Field sits at the south end of Philadelphia’s sports district, a cluster of venues linked by the Broad Street Line subway and ringed with tailgate-friendly parking. For FIFA World Cup 26™, expect a classic outdoor venue: open sky, roaring supporters, and views toward the city skyline as you move through the concourses. The stadium’s big-game feel is helped by wide plazas, clear gate signage, and a straightforward game-day flow from transit or parking into your seat. The surrounding South Philly blocks fill with pre- and post-match energy, while the on-site Pro Shop and pop-up merch keep souvenirs easy. Why it’s great for fans: simple logistics—arrive by subway or park once and stay in the action.

Stadium Overview

Step off the Broad Street Line at NRG Station and the crowd carries you down Pattison Avenue toward the Linc. Security moves briskly, and once inside, the lower concourse hums with lines for cheesesteaks and handhelds while upper levels open to breezy walkways with skyline peeks. Sightlines are clean in most sections—the seating bowl stacks tightly, so even up high you track runs and switches without squinting. The club lobbies are polished, but the general concourses are the heartbeat: brisk service, plenty of wayfinding, and a steady flow around the bowl so you’re not stuck in a dead end at halftime. Sound swirls—chants from the lower corners ricochet up to the terraces.

Two practical tips: arrive early to explore your section’s closest food stands and restrooms, and bring an empty plastic water bottle to refill after security—handy on warm June nights. If you prefer merch before kickoff, hit the Pro Shop early to avoid post-match lines.

Lincoln Financial Field is an open-air stadium in the City of Philadelphia’s South Philadelphia Sports Complex. The venue’s standard seating capacity is listed at 67,594. FIFA has not published a different, tournament-specific configuration for Philadelphia as of this writing.

Three primary seating tiers wrap a tight bowl with dedicated club levels and suites. The field is natural grass, maintained year-round by the Eagles’ grounds crew. There is no roof; this is a true outdoor venue with concourse overhangs providing limited cover in walkways. Premium areas referenced by the stadium include the Firstrust Bank Club, Tork Club, Hyundai Club & Suites, Bud Light Eagles Nest, and FanDuel Lounge. Conditions tip: bring sun protection for day matches—shade coverage is not guaranteed in the seating bowl.

 

  • Concessions & water: The stadium is cashless; cash-to-card kiosks are available. Concessions accept major credit cards and Apple Pay. Empty plastic water bottles are allowed after inspection; sealed containers are not. No published alcohol “cutoff minute”; management may stop sales at its discretion.
  • Merch & payments: On-site Pro Shop and event kiosks operate throughout the building; all points of sale accept major credit cards and Apple Pay.
  • Facilities: First-aid locations and nursing rooms (inside the Pepsi lobby) are listed by the venue; all-gender restrooms are noted throughout multiple sections.

One clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bag up to 12″ x 6″ x 12″ (including clear backpacks/fanny packs/cinch bags) or a one-gallon clear freezer bag is permitted. A small non-clear bag up to 4.5″ x 6.5″ may accompany the clear bag. No buckles/metal hardware that conceals contents; logo on one side only. Medical/child-care exceptions are accommodated after inspection. Bottles/cans are prohibited; empty plastic water bottles are allowed post-inspection. (No official bag-check program is listed.)

All guests pass through security screening using walk-through weapons detection systems; bags are subject to inspection and select items are prohibited. Re-entry is not permitted. The stadium is smoke-free; smoking and vaping are prohibited inside the building. Tickets for FIFA World Cup 26™ will be delivered as secure mobile tickets in the FIFA World Cup 26™ app; screenshots or printouts are not valid for entry.

Know the Code: unruly behavior, abusive language, and throwing objects can lead to ejection. Re-entry is not allowed, so plan your timing around halftime.

June in Philadelphia is warm and humid—light, breathable layers work best; bring an empty plastic bottle to refill after security. Arrive early if you want Pro Shop merch before kickoff. Follow any supporter-specific directions posted on site or by security.
