Experience The Summer of Soccer With XO
Jun 4, 2026
This June, North America will become the center of the sports universe as the summer of soccer kicks off across the United States, Mexico and Canada. With 48 teams and a schedule spanning three countries, the first round is more than just a series of games — it’s a logistical marathon.
If you’re planning to catch the opening matches, from the historic kickoff in Mexico City on June 11 to the United States’ debut in Los Angeles on June 12, book private charters through XO for a more convenient way to travel to all the action.
The 2026 opening round is spread across iconic cities like Toronto, Dallas, Mexico City and San Francisco. Trying to follow your team via commercial travel means navigating three different customs systems and major airport traffic. Booking through XO allows you to fly directly into smaller FBOs that are miles closer to the stadiums, like Teterboro for matches in New York/New Jersey or Van Nuys for games in Los Angeles.
The tournament schedule is unpredictable and plans can change constantly. Perhaps you want to stay an extra night in Guadalajara after a big win or maybe you would like to pivot to Houston for a crucial Group E matchup. The XO mobile app provides you with real-time pricing and the ability to book a jet in seconds so you can make those last-minute travel arrangements.
The XO Client Services team can even arrange for ground transportation to meet you right on the tarmac and bring you straight to the stadium.

This summer of soccer could be the biggest sporting event in history. Make sure to experience as much of it as you want with ease. Whether you’re a die-hard supporter following a specific team or a football tourist wanting to see the best of the opening round, XO provides you with the speed and flexibility that can’t be matched by commercial flying.
