Mercedes-Benz Stadium

Mercedes-Benz Stadium is located at 1 AMB Drive NW, in downtown Atlanta. The best way to get there is using the MARTA system (Atlanta's metro). The nearest stations are Vine City (Blue/Green Line) and GWCC-CNN Center (Blue/Green Line), both 5-10 minutes walking from the stadium.

From Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL), the world's busiest, you can take MARTA directly. The ride from the airport to Vine City takes approximately 20 minutes and costs $2.50 USD. This is one of the best airport-to-stadium connections in the entire 2026 World Cup.

If driving, parking in the downtown Atlanta area is limited and expensive ($30-60 USD). Parking in distant lots and using MARTA is recommended. The Atlanta Streetcar also connects parts of downtown. Uber and Lyft have designated zones at the stadium. For large events, streets around the stadium are closed to vehicular traffic, making public transit the most practical option.

Mercedes-Benz Stadium has three levels: lower level (100), middle level (200), and upper level (300). The design includes the 'Halo Board', a 360-degree circular video screen suspended above the pitch that's visible from all seats.

The sideline 100-level sections (C113-C117 and C133-C137) offer the closest experience to the pitch. The 200 level includes club seats with access to premium lounges. Corner sections at any level offer good value.

The 300 level has the distinction of including a standing section at the south end, popular among Atlanta United fans. For the World Cup, this section could become the most intense animation zone. Sightlines are excellent from virtually any seat thanks to the steep stand design.

Downtown Atlanta, where the stadium is located, has abundant lodging options. Hotels like Omni Atlanta at CNN Center (literally next to the stadium), Hilton Garden Inn Downtown, and AC Hotel by Marriott Downtown are within walking distance. Midtown Atlanta (10 minutes by MARTA) also offers excellent options.

For food, Atlanta is an underrated culinary destination. The Buford Highway Corridor, a stretch of over 10 miles northeast of the city, is one of the most impressive multicultural food destinations in the United States, with Mexican, Guatemalan, Colombian, Korean, Vietnamese and more restaurants. Plaza Fiesta, a Latino shopping center on Buford Highway, has a food market, bakeries, and Latin stores.

Near the stadium, the Castleberry Hill neighborhood has restaurants and craft bars. Ponce City Market on the Beltline (15 minutes by MARTA) is a food hall with options for all tastes. And if you want Southern BBQ, Fox Bros BBQ is an Atlanta classic.

Mercedes-Benz Stadium was designed from scratch with accessibility as a priority. It meets and exceeds ADA requirements. It features accessible seating on all three levels with unobstructed views and companion seating. Panoramic elevators connect all levels.

The stadium offers a comprehensive accessibility services program that includes: loaner wheelchairs, assistive listening devices, sign language interpretation (with advance request), and sensory rest areas for people with autism or other conditions.

MARTA, the transit system connecting to the stadium, is fully wheelchair accessible. For families, there are nursing rooms, diaper-changing areas, and a free ticket policy for children under 2. Mercedes-Benz Stadium staff have been recognized for their inclusive customer service.

The match schedule for Mercedes-Benz Stadium at the 2026 World Cup will be updated when FIFA confirms venue assignments. Atlanta is confirmed as a host for group stage and knockout round matches.
