The United States will host 78 of the 104 matches of the 2026 World Cup — including the grand final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. If you're heading to any of the 11 host cities in the U.S., this guide shows exactly which eSIM to choose.

How 5G Coverage Works in the U.S.
The U.S. has one of the most advanced 5G networks in the world. The three major local carriers — T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon — cover nearly all host cities with high-speed 5G. The Easy Chip eSIM for the U.S. uses these same networks, so you get real gigabit speeds in stadiums and urban centers.
Which Plan to Choose (Based on Travel Time)
Only watching 1 game (3-5 days in the city)?
Recommended plan: 3 GB for 7 days — $12. Covers WhatsApp, Uber, maps, and Instagram photos without a hitch.
Staying 1-2 weeks for the group stage?
Recommended plan: 10 GB for 30 days — $23. Allows for heavy usage, including video calls with family and streaming other games.
Following Brazil to the end (3-4 weeks)?
Recommended plan: 20 GB for 30 days — $37. Or Unlimited for 30 days — $69, if you want to use your phone as a hotspot for others.
Types of Plans: Data vs Data + Voice + SMS
The Data plans are for internet (Change carrier, cheaper). The Data + Voice + SMS plans (Change Plus carrier) include call minutes and messages — useful if you need to receive SMS from banks, registrations, and American marketplaces.
Golden Tip for Those Attending Multiple Games
If your trip includes games in more than one country (e.g., a game in Dallas + a game in Toronto), consider the North America Regional eSIM: a single plan that works automatically in all three countries without changing SIM cards when crossing the border.
