The USA, Mexico and Canada will co-host the international football extravaganza from June 11th to 19th July 2026, and with the FIFA World Cup’s schedule announced following the recent draw, locations and kick-off times have now been revealed for the participating nations. Saudi Arabia will be one of the 48 nations taking part. They have been grouped alongside Uruguay, who they play in Miami, before they take on Spain in Atlanta before closing out their group stage against Cape Verde in Houston. Although the UAE was unable to qualify for the event, the country witnesses a large turnout to this sport and it is home to a diverse range of nationalities whose countries will be participating and there is expected to be a strong interest in making the long trip to North America to cheer on their teams. With a few months to go until the big kick-off, Skyscanner has made planning easier with fans needing to consider flights, hotels and the occasional epic road trip. Which is why its Football Flight Finder tool relieves the stress, allowing fans to see their team’s schedule including city location and kick-off times, and find the best value flights from the UAE and Saudi Arabia for every match – right up until the final. Skyscanner has also shared top tips for travellers in the UAE and Saudi Arabia to save time and money, whether hiring a car or booking accommodation. Don’t always pick the obvious airport Most major cities have multiple airports, so check how many air travel locations you have by using the 'nearby airports' function when searching. Avoid weekend flights where possible While flying on peak days (such as weekends) may be unavoidable at times, booking mid-week flights can save you money. Using Skyscanner’s Whole Month Search function can help you easily identify the cheapest days to fly in any given month. Save money by using different airlines Don’t feel obliged to use the same carrier for the entirety of your trip and do be open to stops and layovers if time allows. Depending on the distance you’ll be travelling, it might make sense to take an indirect flight – just be sure to leave enough time between legs in case one is delayed. Check for visa requirements Don't ruin the holiday before it has even started by forgetting the paperwork. Some match-to-match journeys cross borders, so check what visas are needed for your routes well in advance. You don’t always have to fly Road tripping is an American way to travel, and the 2026 match schedule offers plenty of opportunities for unforgettable drives to some bucket-list destinations across the continent. You can book car hire and hotel stays along with your flights with Skyscanner.
