Saturday, June 27, 2026 · Kickoff 17:00 ET · MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford NJ. Stay 0.3 miles away at World of Blue and skip the post-game traffic that ruins everyone else's night.
Where to stay
World of Blue is the closest full-service luxury hotel to MetLife Stadium — 0.3 miles, straight-line, the only hotel inside the stadium perimeter that isn't connected to the event-org infrastructure. 427 newly rebuilt rooms across 21 stories. Blue View rooms face the stadium directly.
Direct-book hotel guests get 2 standard shuttle seats free (extras at $100), 15% off match-day parking, and the hotel-guest lane through the manned security gate. Match-night room rates and shoulder-night rates are visible at booking.
Match-day parking
$250 per vehicle for Panama vs. England (group stage rate). Direct-book hotel guests pay 15% less.
The fee covers what your room rate doesn't: full-service insured valet, NJ State Police + 24/7 armed perimeter security, and the private shuttle network into and out of the stadium. Every vehicle on the property pays — hotel guests included.
Pass arrives by email as printable PDF, Apple Wallet, or Google Wallet. Single-use, scanned at our manned gate. Book parking for Panama vs. England →
Getting to the gates

Service runs starting 3 hours before kickoff (so for Panama vs. England, starting at 14:00 ET). Return pickup from the same point starts 1 hour after the final whistle.
Direct-book WoB room guests: 2 shuttle seats free, extras at $100. Hotel-elsewhere guests: $75/seat. Non-hotel guests: $150/seat.
VIP shuttle (VAAP) drives inside MetLife's perimeter — $450/seat, very limited, never bundled with rooms.
