For the Passionate Fans Who Support Across the Globe

As a sports fan myself, I know the appeal of wanting to travel to see your favorite teams compete wherever they’re playing in the world. I currently live in Denver, but some of my favorite teams are Orlando City, Brighton & Hove Albion, and Real Madrid. A few years ago, I traveled to Philadelphia to catch Arsenal vs. Liverpool. What a dream it would be to catch a Real Madrid game in Spain or head up to the English seaside to see Brighton & Hove Albion.

There’s a lot of logistics that come with planning trips like this, especially when you’re not from the same country. Knowing where to buy tickets or even how to get them can be an entire production on its own, let alone coordinating your travel and lodging. That’s where help from a travel advisor comes in. I have experience with, or in some cases direct contact with, the leagues around the world to help secure your game tickets. Combined with my vast network of partnered hotels & attractions, I’ll help you plan the sports retreat of your dreams.

Why More Fans Are Traveling For Games

There’s something special about seeing your favorite team in person. Whether it’s a Premier League match in England, a Bundesliga atmosphere in Germany, or an MLS away day, sports travel combines the excitement of live competition with the chance to experience a destination in a completely different way.

For many fans, the match is just the beginning.

Turn one game into an unforgettable vacation

Experience the local culture through sport

Make every travel day count

Visit stadiums and neighborhoods most tourists miss

Create memories that last long after the final whistle

Whether you’re planning your first soccer pilgrimage or adding another stadium to your bucket list, thoughtful planning helps you enjoy both the game and everything the destination has to offer.

Bucket List Trips for Soccer Fans

Every soccer fan travels differently. Some want legendary stadium tours, others dream of following their club across Europe, while many simply want one unforgettable matchday experience. Here are a few ways to build your perfect sports trip.

Stadium Tours

Visit iconic venues, explore club museums, and experience the history behind some of the world's biggest teams.

Rivalry Weekends

Being in Madrid during an El El Clásico was hands-down a life changing experience for me. I highly recommend experiencing the buzz of a rivalry match.

International Tournaments

Turn events like the FIFA World Cup, UEFA European Championship, or Copa América into unforgettable multi-city vacations.

Football Culture & Food

Discover pubs, supporter traditions, local neighborhoods, and restaurants that make every matchday unique.

Multi-City Soccer Tours

Why stop at one stadium? Build an itinerary that lets you experience several clubs and cities during one trip.

Premier League Getaways

Spend a long weekend in England combining a Premier League match with sightseeing, incredible food, and unforgettable local experiences.

Great Destinations for Sports Travelers

From iconic stadiums to unforgettable matchday atmospheres, these are some of my favorite destinations for travelers who want to experience sports as part of their vacation. Whether you’re planning your first overseas football match or building an itinerary around a major tournament, these destinations combine incredible sporting culture with memorable travel experiences.

Denver

Denver is a great destination for someone who wants to catch a bunch of different sports in one city. Denver is home to seven professional sports teams, including NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB, MLS, PLL and NLL.

Spain

While I'm partial to Madrid myself, you can't go wrong with Madrid or Barcelona as one of the top sports travel destinations for soccer fans.

London

Another one for the soccer fans, London is home to 17 professional teams. The ones you're probably most familiar with are Arsenal, Tottenham, and Chelsea.

Japan

Heading to Tokyo? Great. You've got some of the best baseball in the world here. You can also catch professional soccer and sumo wrestling, if you'd like to check out something new while you're traveling. Don't forget to save some time to catch a figure skating competition if you can.

Game on!

Studying the chants and learning matchday culture can make you feel more at home.

Tips for Sports Traveling

A little preparation can make sports travel smoother and more enjoyable.

01

Build Your Trip Around the Match

Secure your tickets first, then plan flights, hotels, and sightseeing around the event. Match schedules can change, but having your priorities set early makes everything else easier.

02

Stay Near Public Transportation

Getting to and from stadiums can be hectic. Choosing accommodations close to trains or metro lines often saves far more time than staying closer to tourist attractions.

03

Learn Local Fan Culture

Every destination has its own traditions, chants, and matchday etiquette. A little research beforehand helps you feel like part of the atmosphere instead of just watching it.

04

Have a Backup Plan

Weather delays, fixture changes, or transportation strikes can happen. A flexible itinerary keeps one unexpected change from affecting your entire trip.

05

Leave Room Beyond the Game

The match may be the highlight, but don't miss the destination itself. Great restaurants, neighborhoods, museums, and viewpoints often become the memories you remember most.

06

Pack Like a Matchday Veteran

Comfortable shoes, a portable charger, weather-appropriate clothing, and a small crossbody bag can make long matchdays much more enjoyable.
