FIFA World Cup 2026
Big Matches. Bigger Crowds. Plan Ahead For The FIFA World Cup 2026.
This summer, Foxborough takes the global stage as a host city for the FIFA World Cup. From June 13 to July 9, Boston Stadium (Gillette Stadium) will host seven high-profile matches.
With six of these matches falling during the work week, local traffic and commuting patterns will be significantly impacted. We recommend that businesses proactively explore alternative work arrangements to ensure operational continuity and employee well-being.
Consider implementing these flexible options for the dates listed above:
- Remote Work: Allow staff to work from home to bypass stadium-related congestion.
- Compressed Schedules: Shift hours earlier in the week to allow for a half-day or day off on match days.
- Flexible Start/End Times: Stagger commutes to avoid peak fan arrival and departure windows.
Don’t know where to start? Let us help you customize a commuter plan that keeps your business moving while the world watches the game.
