If you’re planning to watch the 2026 World Cup matches at the Mexico City Stadium and want to enjoy the experience from a VIP box, be ready to pay a hefty premium for food and drinks. According to Bloomberg Businessweek México, each person in a box will need to pay around 20,000 pesos extra on top of their ticket just to access snacks like wings, burgers, sandwiches, soft drinks, and premium alcoholic beverages.

Why the extra charge? FIFA has mandated that box owners purchase hospitality packages, banning them from bringing their own food or buying from regular stadium vendors. This means the only option for food and drinks inside the boxes comes through these official packages.

Here’s what the top-tier FIFA hospitality package includes for the five matches held at the stadium, which will be renamed Estadio Banorte after the World Cup:

– Snacks and appetizers
– Chicken wings
– Cheese platters
– Salads
– Burgers
– Sandwiches
– Premium alcoholic beverages
– Soft drinks

This “Premium Package” costs $75,000 USD for 12 people across all five games, making it a significant investment for those seeking a luxury experience. Prices adjust depending on the number of seats in each box, highlighting the scale of FIFA’s hospitality business in the only stadium where it doesn’t directly control the boxes.

For those looking for a more affordable option, there’s a second package priced at $35,400 USD (about 600,000 pesos) for 12 people over the five matches. This “basic combo” includes food and water but excludes alcoholic drinks. The main difference between the two packages is the presence of alcohol and the variety of the menu, with nearly a $40,000 USD gap between them.

While these costs might seem steep, they reflect FIFA’s approach to standardizing hospitality and ensuring a premium experience for VIP guests during the World Cup. For fans and visitors, understanding these options can help plan their budget and expectations for attending matches at the iconic Mexico City Stadium this June 2026.
