Getting from Boston Logan Airport to Gillette Stadium for the 2026 World Cup
Boston is one of the most storied sports cities in the world — and for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, it is welcoming tens of thousands of international fans who will be flying into Logan International Airport (BOS) and making their way to Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The stadium sits roughly 28 miles south of Logan, and understanding your transfer options before you land can save you hours of frustration during what is already one of the busiest travel periods the region has ever seen.
This guide breaks down every realistic transfer option, expected travel times, estimated costs, and the one booking step you should not leave until the last minute.
Logan Airport: What to Expect on Arrival
Logan International Airport (BOS) has four terminals — A, B, C, and E — connected by a free shuttle bus. Most transatlantic and international flights arrive at Terminal E. Ground transportation desks, ride-share pick-up zones, and taxi stands are clearly marked on the lower level of each terminal.
During World Cup match days, expect congestion at ride-share pick-up areas and taxi ranks to be significantly above normal. Arriving with a pre-booked private transfer means your driver meets you inside — you skip the queue entirely.

Transfer Options: Logan Airport to Gillette Stadium
1. Private Airport Transfer (Recommended)
A pre-booked private transfer from Logan to Gillette Stadium is the most predictable option. Your driver tracks your flight, meets you at arrivals, and takes you directly to Foxborough — no waiting in taxi lines, no surge pricing surprises. Based on our internal transfer pricing research, estimated fares for this route run in the range of a standard sedan booking with fixed pricing. Groups travelling together will find private transfers particularly cost-effective when the fare is split.
Book early — supply of licensed private transfer vehicles in the greater Boston area will be constrained during the tournament. We recommend securing your ride at least two to three weeks in advance.

2. Taxi from Logan
Official taxis from Logan operate from designated stands outside each terminal. The journey to Foxborough typically takes 40 to 60 minutes depending on traffic, but on match days with heavy suburban congestion, that can extend to 90 minutes or more. Metered fares on this route will be higher than normal due to demand. Taxis cannot be pre-booked, which is a significant disadvantage during peak World Cup travel.
3. Ride-Share (Uber / Lyft)
Ride-share services operate from a designated pick-up zone at Logan and are widely available in Boston. However, surge pricing during major events can push fares to multiples of the baseline rate. On World Cup match days, waits of 20 to 40 minutes have been reported at Logan ride-share zones during previous major events. If you choose this option, build extra time into your schedule.
4. MBTA Commuter Rail + Shuttle
The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) runs commuter rail service on the Providence/Stoughton Line with a stop at Foxboro Station — but this service is not daily and does not run to Foxboro on all match days. Check the MBTA schedule well in advance. From Logan, you would take the Silver Line SL1 bus to South Station, then transfer to the commuter rail. The full journey can take two hours or more with transfers.
For large groups or families with luggage, this option is impractical on heavy travel days.
5. Rental Car
Car rental is available at Logan and gives you flexibility, but parking near Gillette Stadium requires advance purchase of a parking pass (often sold out weeks before match day). Highway 95 and Route 1 south of Boston can be at a standstill on match days. If you are staying in the Boston metro area for multiple days and plan to explore, renting a car for non-match days may make sense — but for the stadium run itself, a pre-booked transfer is more reliable.
Boston to Gillette Stadium: Route & Travel Time
Gillette Stadium is located at One Patriot Place, Foxborough, MA 02035. The most direct route from Logan Airport follows I-90 West to I-95 South — approximately 28 miles. Under normal conditions, the drive takes 35 to 50 minutes. On match days, allow 60 to 90 minutes minimum, and plan to arrive well before kick-off.
Planning Your World Cup Travel: Key Timing Tips
- Book your transfer before your flights fill up. Private vehicle availability drops sharply once airline seats sell out. See our guide on the best time to book an airport transfer.
- Consider private over shared shuttles. Shared shuttles make multiple stops and can add significant time to your journey. For a comparison, read our airport shuttle vs private transfer guide.
- Check the full cost picture across all host cities. If Boston is one stop on a multi-city World Cup trip, our USA World Cup airport transfer cost guide gives estimated fare ranges for every host city.
- Compare other host cities: fans combining Boston with a New York fixture can read our New York airport transfer guide, and those heading to Philadelphia next should see the Philadelphia airport transfer guide.

Boston Local Transfer Tips
- Logan's Terminal E arrivals area is the main international gateway — meet your private transfer driver at the designated meet-and-greet point on the arrivals level.
- Boston's tunnel and expressway system can create unexpected delays even outside peak hours. Always pad transfer times.
- If your match day falls on a weekday, rush-hour traffic on 95 South can be severe — factor this into your pick-up time.
- For hotels in downtown Boston (Back Bay, Seaport, Cambridge), a private transfer that goes Logan → hotel → Gillette on match day is a common and efficient itinerary.
