Stay connected at every match

If you're travelling from abroad, yes — an eSIM gives you data the moment you land, without the steep roaming charges most carriers bill for the USA, Canada, and Mexico. It installs in minutes, keeps your home number on your primary SIM, and works across all 16 host cities in whichever country you're visiting.

The 2026 World Cup is co-hosted by the United States (11 host cities), Canada (2), and Mexico (3). Buy an eSIM for the country whose stadiums you're visiting. If your trip spans more than one host country, you can install a separate eSIM for each — they activate independently.

Yes. Our recommended plans run on the major local carriers in each host country, so you get the same coverage a local SIM would at the venue and around the city. Stadium Wi-Fi is often congested with 60,000+ fans online at once, so a local-carrier eSIM is the more reliable way to share photos, check transit, and message your group on matchday.

Install before you fly. After purchase you receive a QR code by email; add the eSIM to your phone while you still have home Wi-Fi, then switch on its data when you land. On iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM. On Samsung Galaxy: Settings → Connections → SIM manager → Add eSIM. On Pixel: Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → Add eSIM.

For maps, messaging, and ticket wallets, 1–3 GB a week is usually enough. If you stream highlights, post to social media, or share video from the stands, plan for 5–10 GB. For a multi-week trip across several host cities, a larger or unlimited plan saves you topping up mid-tournament.

Most phones released since 2018 support eSIM — including iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and recent Samsung Galaxy S, Note, and Z models. Use our free eSIM compatibility checker to confirm your exact device before you buy.

Not with a single plan — USA, Canada, and Mexico are separate markets with their own carriers. A US eSIM only gives you data on American networks; a Canadian eSIM only on Canadian ones. If your trip takes you across borders, buy one eSIM for each country. You install them all before you travel and activate the right one as you cross into each country. Most phones let you store multiple eSIM profiles and switch between them in Settings.

Most eSIM providers let you top up from the same dashboard or app without buying a new plan. Check the data allowance before you go and pick a plan with a generous cap or unlimited data if you expect to stream highlights, use video calls, or navigate unfamiliar cities regularly. For a two-week trip spanning multiple host cities, a 10 GB or unlimited plan saves you the hassle of mid-trip refills.
