Group Stage · MetLife Stadium

Panama vs. England

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

The standard shuttle drops at the American Dream pedestrian entrance — a covered walkway carries you across Route 3 directly into MetLife. 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.

Watch parties and hospitality suites

For organizations and federations bringing groups to Panama vs. England, World of Blue offers hospitality suite buyouts in the Horizon Ballroom (up to 1,200 guests for a private watch party with live broadcast), corporate parking blocks, and pre-game receptions in the Skyline Ballroom (up to 600 guests) with stadium-skyline views.
