West End or Yaletown for walkability to Stanley Park and the seawall; Gastown for nightlife; Kitsilano for a beach base. See the neighbourhood guide and Route Finder.

The person behind FanVancouver.com — and why this site exists.
Every price, time and venue fact links back to FIFA, TransLink, BC Place or the City of Vancouver. Unconfirmed info is labeled "estimate."
We review every page as new announcements drop. Last review: July 24, 2026. BC Place 7/7 complete. Pivoting to evergreen Vancouver summer guides.
Transit times are based on real SkyTrain rides, not Google Maps estimates. Walking distances are timed on foot from the actual stadium gates.
All specific numbers (prices, capacities, gate times) are pulled from official sources, not generated. We don't publish what we can't verify.
