Guadalajara World Cup 2026 eSIM Guide
Guadalajara hosts four group-stage matches including a Mexico fixture on June 18.
The stadium
Estadio Akron. Renamed 'Estadio Guadalajara' for FIFA, Chivas's home is in Zapopan on the northwestern edge of the Guadalajara metro area, about 17 km from the city center.
Getting there
No metro line reaches the stadium; Mi Macro Periférico BRT and dedicated match-day shuttles from central Guadalajara are the primary transit options, with on-site lots available.
Connectivity in Guadalajara
Telcel offers the strongest coverage at the venue, with AT&T Mexico and Movistar also providing reliable 4G/5G service across the parking and concourse areas.
For fans visiting from outside Mexico, 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.
