10 events across 6 sports
The 2026 sporting calendar in one place: a 48-team FIFA World Cup across three nations, Super Bowl LX, the Champions League final in Budapest, Wimbledon, the Masters, and an F1 double-header in Singapore and Las Vegas — with travel guides, ticket intel, and budget estimates for every event.
Twenty twenty-six staged more must-see sport than any calendar year in memory. The FIFA World Cup grew to 48 teams and 104 matches across 16 cities in the United States, Canada, and Mexico from June 11 to July 19 — the largest edition ever staged and the first shared by three nations. Around it orbited a full year of tentpoles: Super Bowl LX at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara in February, the Masters at Augusta in April, the Monaco Grand Prix in May, the NBA Finals and the Champions League final in Budapest in June, and Wimbledon's fortnight in London.
The first half is now history — eight of the ten events on this page have been played. What remains is a stacked run-home: the US Open Tennis Championships at Flushing Meadows starting August 24, Formula 1's original night race through the streets of Singapore in October, and the Las Vegas Grand Prix on November 21, when fifty laps run under the neon past the Sphere and the Bellagio fountains. Every one of them is still bookable, and none of them requires luck to attend.
Use this page as your 2026 hub. Each event card below carries the numbers that matter — flight ranges, nightly hotel rates, ticket windows — plus a link to a full trip guide with venue-by-venue detail. Cross-link to the 2027 and 2028 calendars to plan ahead while prices are still sane.
Ten flagship events anchor the 2026 calendar, grouped by sport below. The heavy lifting was done in summer — the World Cup, NBA Finals, and Champions League final in Budapest — while the run-home belongs to US Open tennis in New York, the Singapore night race, and F1 in Las Vegas.

Arthur Ashe Stadium & USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center — flights $300 – $700, hotels from $180/night, tickets $60 – $800. Book flights once tickets are confirmed and hotels at least three months out — event weeks sell host cities out early.
For the events still ahead, timing beats budget. US Open tickets go on sale through the tournament's official marketplace in phases from late spring — grounds passes in the $50-90 range for the first week remain the best value in Grand Slam tennis, while Arthur Ashe night sessions climb past $300 once the draw is set. Formula 1 sells Singapore and Las Vegas directly through its own ticketing platform plus official hospitality partners; Las Vegas general admission historically starts around $300 with grandstand packages from $1,500. Buy at the on-sale, not the resale spike — prices for both races typically rise 40-80 percent once inventory tightens in the final eight weeks. Avoid unverified secondary markets entirely: F1 and the USTA both run official verified resale.
In New York, stay along the 7 train — Long Island City and Astoria put you twenty minutes from the Mets-Willets Point stop at half of Midtown rates. For Singapore, the Marina Bay and City Hall areas sit on the MRT with direct race-weekend service to the circuit at Promenade and Bayfront; rates during race week run $250-450. Las Vegas is the exception: Strip hotels are the venue itself, so expect $300-800 per night with three-night minimums — downtown's Fremont Street and off-Strip properties near the monorail cut that roughly in half. Book refundable rates now and re-shop eight weeks out; Vegas race-week inventory is released in waves and often dips before it spikes.
New York: fly into JFK or Newark and ride the AirTrain plus the 7 train, leaving Manhattan ninety minutes before a night session. Singapore: Changi to the city in twenty minutes on the MRT, and the whole race circuit is walkable from Promenade station — buy an EZ-Link card on arrival. Las Vegas: Harry Reid International sits minutes from the Strip but gridlocks on race nights, so use the monorail, which runs behind the casinos with a stop near the circuit's east gates, or simply stay put and walk. For all three, book flights the moment your ticket is confirmed; the final eight weeks before each event see the biggest fare jumps.
