New York City FC and FlixBus Announce Partnership to Support Fan Travel During a Historic Summer of Soccer

New York City FC and FlixBus, North America’s fastest-growing intercity bus service, today announced a new partnership aimed at helping fans travel affordably and conveniently during one of the biggest moments for soccer in the region's history. 

The partnership brings together New York City FC’s passionate soccer community with FlixBus’ extensive intercity bus network, which connects more than 1,800 destinations across the United States, Canada and Mexico, including all major host cities and surrounding communities. With millions of fans expected to travel throughout the tournament, FlixBus offers a flexible and practical travel alternative to driving, searching for parking, and dealing with congestion. The service makes it easier for both domestic and international supporters to move between cities and experience more of the action. 

As part of the partnership, FlixBus will create a high-energy fan experience at the NYNJ World Cup 26 Fan Zone Queens at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. The experience will feature an interactive photo booth, branded merchandise personalization station, giveaways, fan engagement moment, and more to celebrate global soccer culture together.
