Biking to a World Cup match at KC Stadium? Here’s what we know about routes and bike parking
This information is evolving as conversations continue with the City of Kansas City and KC2026 event organizers. We recommend confirming information with KC2026 Fan and Visitor Support.
Signs on the Brush Creek Trail and Blue River Trail point riders toward KC Stadium
How do I ride to KC Stadium (aka Arrowhead)?
From the West
Bike to the intersection of Stadium Drive and the Blue River Trailhead). The City of KCMO has created a map and will provide monitored bike racks and a shuttle to the stadium. The trailhead will be monitored from two hours before the game until an hour after the game. There are two options to get there:
- Take the trail on Cleaver Boulevard to the bike lanes on Leeds Trafficway, or
- Take the Brush Creek Trail east from the Country Club Plaza and then go north on the Blue River Trail to Stadium Drive
Tip: If coming from Downtown, Fan Fest, or Westport areas, use the cycletrack on Oak Street/Gillham Road to get to the Brush Creek Trail just east of the Country Club Plaza area.
From the East or South
Take the Rock Island Trail. Designated bike parking is located at the terminus of the Rock Island Trail near Gate 3, off Blue Ridge Cutoff.
The Regional Trails and Bikeways Map is our favorite resource for finding bike lanes/trails that you would never notice from a car, and often aren't even on Google Maps. This is a great way to plan your route, whether you are riding the Rock Island Trail from the east or the Brush Creek route from the west.
The official bike parking at KC Stadium at the terminus of the Rock Island Trail at Lot L, Gate 3. It's not an official Bike Share KC hub, so expect a $2 out-of-hub fee
Is there bike parking at the stadium?
Our understanding is that the Rock Island Trailhead in Parking Lot L, Gate 3 is the designated bike parking location for people who have tickets to a World Cup match.
If you are biking in from the west, consider locking up your bike at the City of KCMO bike racks at the terminus of the Blue River Trail and taking the shuttle to the stadium.
Note: Bike Share KC riders are welcome to lock up and end their trips at either bike parking area! However, neither the Blue River Trail parking area nor the Rock Island Trail parking area are official Bike Share KC hubs, and BSKC riders who lock up and end their trips at either location will be charged a $2 out-of-hub convenience fee.

Can I ride bike share to a World Cup match?
YES! Here are some things to keep in mind:
Bike share means that if you end your trip and lock up, that bike is available for someone else to check out and ride. The only way to keep a bike for only your personal use is to lock up and leave the meter running (do not end your trip).
Tip: An Explorer Pass allows you to leave the meter running for four hours at a time for a reduced price. Get the details about an Explorer Pass
Our bikes are electric-assist, which makes them easy to pedal when they have a full charge, but hard to pedal if the battery runs out. Check the Bike Share KC app to confirm the bike you want to ride has a full battery before checking it out.
Cell phone service may be spotty with so many people in one place. During especially busy times, you may need to wait for crowds to disperse before you can unlock a bike. See more World Cup Party Pedaling tips here.
