Multi-modal routes from every major airport to Levi's Stadium, match-day transit strategy, and direct booking links for fans who want to lock in transit before kickoff.
Fly into SFO or SJC. Levi's Stadium is in Santa Clara — take Caltrain or VTA light rail from San Jose or San Francisco. The stadium is about 45 miles south of SF.
Match-day transit playbook
Levi's Stadium match-day traffic is significantly heavier than any normal day in San Francisco Bay Area. Rideshare surge can be 2-3x. Add buffer for security screening at gates.
Post-match surge is the worst part of every World Cup trip. If you’re using rideshare, schedule a pickup 30+ minutes after final whistle to clear the worst queue.
Match-day public transit often runs extended hours but is packed at the end of the night. If you’re on transit, consider walking to a station 1-2 stops away from the stadium for faster boarding.
