Four cities. Two nations. One coast. From the mountains of Vancouver to the Hollywood hills, Group B is the tournament's most scenic route.
Group B offers the most breathtaking landscapes and the most tech-forward cities in the tournament—if you master the distances.
The group is split into two distinct zones: the "Cascadia Core" (Vancouver, Seattle) and the "California Gold" (SF/Bay Area, Los Angeles).
Vancouver 🚄 Seattle ✈️ San Francisco 🚗 Los Angeles
Use the Amtrak Cascades for the border crossing. It's beautiful and efficient. Then, fly to California to cover the massive West Coast gap.
Group B features the tournament's most scenic rail route (Cascadia) alongside cities where the car remains king (Los Angeles, Bay Area).
Do not fly between Vancouver and Seattle. The flight is short, but airport security and border checks take longer than the journey itself.

San Francisco is the price leader. Vancouver is constrained by water. Los Angeles requires hyper-local planning to avoid the 405 freeway.

Estimates are per person for a 12-day trip covering 3 group matches. Higher costs reflect West Coast tech hub inflation.
Shared rentals, Cascadia rail, food truck dining, cheapest match tickets.
Boutique hotels, domestic flights, casual sit-down dining, Cat 2 tickets.
Luxury Bay Area/LA hotels, Business Class flights, Cat 1 tickets, fine dining.
Use SJC for the Bay Area: San Jose International (SJC) is 15 minutes from the stadium, whereas SFO is an hour away and much more expensive to reach.
The CAD Exchange Rate: If your budget is tight, maximize your stay in Vancouver. The US Dollar is currently strong against the Canadian Dollar, giving you ~30% more value.
Metro Over Uber in LA: Traffic in LA can triple Uber prices during peak hours. The Metro E and K lines are significantly faster for reaching Inglewood/SoFi.
The "San Francisco" stadium is actually 45 miles south. Do not stay in Fisherman's Wharf if you want an easy match day. Stay in San Jose or Santa Clara.
Seattle and Vancouver are soccer-mad cities. Expect "March to the Match" traditions. Wear comfortable shoes and prepare for "Cascadia Mist" (light rain).
A 10-mile drive in LA can take 90 minutes. Always add a "traffic tax" to your travel time. SoFi Stadium is in Inglewood—plan your stay accordingly.
Vancouver has some of the best sushi in the world. Seattle is the coffee capital. Skip the chains; look for local spots in Kitsilano (Vancouver) or Capitol Hill (Seattle).
