The World Cup Is Coming to Mass. in 2026. Is the MBTA Ready?
- Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, will serve as the venue for seven games during the 2026 World Cup, which will take place across 11 cities in the United States.

- Rep. Stephen Lynch stated "more funding is critical," while advocacy group TransitMatters urged better communication with riders to prevent transit issues.
- The funding request marks a first step toward readiness for one of the largest transit challenges in U.S. Sports history with over 100 matches nationwide.
