With approvals now secured, Wizz Air UK may provide tailored charter flights for European football teams and supporters travelling to the World Cup, and to tour operators organising group travel to the United States, the airline said.

As communicated earlier, the airline has no intention or plans to launch regular commercial flights to the United States, it added.

The airline expects “strong interest” for charter packages from football teams participating in the World Cup, Wizz Air UK said.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be held from June 11 to July 19, and will be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico, marking the first time the tournament is organized by three countries. It will also be the largest World Cup in history, featuring 48 national teams, up from 32 in previous editions, and a total of 104 matches played across 16 host cities in North America.
