How to Take the Train to MetLife Stadium

Train service may be a practical option for many visitors, but routes and event operations can vary. Check NJ Transit's official World Cup or match-day guidance before traveling.

Train overview

Visitors coming from New York City, Newark, Secaucus, and other New Jersey areas should plan the route in advance and re-check schedules close to the match. Event trains may run differently than normal service.

Coming from NYC

Many NYC visitors will start from Manhattan and connect through regional rail options. Confirm the exact route, transfer point, and return service before leaving for the stadium.

Coming from Newark

Newark can be useful for airport access and some hotel stays. Check whether your route requires a transfer and whether post-match return service works for your plans.

Coming from Secaucus

Secaucus is often relevant for Meadowlands-area travel because of regional rail connections and nearby hotels. Verify event-day routing before booking around this assumption.

Match-day tips

Buy or load tickets early if official guidance recommends it, leave extra time, expect crowds, and keep a backup plan for the return trip.

Official-source reminder

Details may change before match day. Always verify with official sources before making travel plans.
