Whether you're attending the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Foxboro, Massachusetts or not, transportation officials have a message for anyone who will be traveling around the area on match days: Plan ahead.

"FIFA is not your typical event," highway administrator Jonathan Gulliver said Monday. "This is like a Taylor Swift concert, playoff series, the World Series and Super Bowl all in one place."

There are seven matches scheduled at Gillette Stadium - soon to be renamed "Boston Stadium" for the World Cup - between June 13 and July 9. All but one are on weekdays.
