Summary
Belgium play their three Group G matches across the West Coast — vs. Egypt in Seattle (June 15), vs. Iran in Los Angeles (June 21), and vs. New Zealand in Vancouver (June 26). Belgian fans need a US ESTA and a Canadian eTA, and one North America eSIM keeps you online across all three cities. Here's the plan.
Belgium's Group G fixtures
Belgium arrive as Group G's top seed, ranked eighth in the world and at a 15th World Cup, with a best finish of third place in 2018. Two of their three group games are in the US and one is in Canada, so following the Red Devils means one border crossing during the group stage, per the official Group G listing.
| Date (ET) | Match | Venue |
|---|---|---|
| Mon Jun 15, 3 p.m. | Belgium vs. Egypt | Lumen Field (Seattle) |
| Sun Jun 21, 3 p.m. | Belgium vs. Iran | SoFi Stadium (Los Angeles) |
| Fri Jun 26, 11 p.m. | New Zealand vs. Belgium | BC Place (Vancouver) |
Use our venue guides to plan each match day: getting to Lumen Field in Seattle, SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, and BC Place in Vancouver. For the full group picture, see our Group G preview.
Entry: ESTA, eTA, and what to bring
Belgian passport holders travel to the US under the Visa Waiver Program and must hold an approved ESTAbefore boarding — apply via the official US Customs and Border Protection site, not a reseller, days ahead of travel. For the Vancouver match you also need a Canadian eTA, which is quick and inexpensive to obtain online. Carry your passport, ESTA and eTA approvals, and your match tickets in the FIFA World Cup 26™ app.
Staying connected: eSIM vs roaming vs pocket Wi-Fi
Belgium's route spans the US and Canada, so a North America eSIM is the simplest fix: install it on Wi-Fi before you fly, switch it on when you land, and your maps, Uber, WhatsApp group chats, and ticket QR codes all work immediately — without the per-day roaming charges Belgian networks bill abroad, and with no surcharge when you cross into Canada.
| Option | Cost | Setup time | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| eSIM | Low | ~5 min (pre-install on Wi-Fi) | Excellent (local carrier) |
| Carrier roaming | High | Instant (already enabled) | Medium (partner-dependent) |
| Pocket Wi-Fi | Airport pickup / rental | Medium | Good (extra device to charge) |
A single North America eSIM covers Seattle, Los Angeles, and Vancouver on one plan and extends into Mexico if your trip grows. From US$5 with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or card.
