San Francisco Bay Area World Cup 2026 eSIM Guide
The Bay Area hosts six matches at Levi's Stadium, including a Round of 32 fixture on July 1.
The stadium
Levi's Stadium. Branded 'San Francisco Bay Area Stadium' for FIFA, Levi's is in Santa Clara, about 45 miles south of San Francisco and 5 miles north of downtown San Jose.
Getting there
VTA light rail stops at Great America station next to the stadium, and Capitol Corridor/ACE rail connect from Sacramento and the East Bay; on-site parking is limited and pre-paid.
Connectivity in San Francisco Bay Area
Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile all run dense 5G at Levi's, which has long been one of the most heavily-instrumented NFL venues for in-bowl connectivity.
For fans visiting from outside USA, the cleanest setup is a regional eSIM that covers USA, Canada, and Mexico—so you don't need to switch plans if your itinerary takes you through more than one host country during the tournament.
