Travelling to the World Cup 2026? Know Your Lyca Mobile Roaming Charges Before You Go

The 2026 FIFA World Cup runs from June 11 to July 19 across three countries: the United States, Canada, and Mexico. If you are a Lyca Mobile Denmark customer heading to any of the host nations to watch the matches live, this guide covers exactly what to expect with your Lyca Mobile roaming charges for the US, Canada, and Mexico, what bundles are available, and how to avoid any nasty surprises on your bill when you land.

One Thing Worth Knowing First: Calls to the Host Countries Are Included

Before we get into roaming charges, there is some good news. All Lyca Mobile Denmark bundles include calls to the USA, Canada, and Mexico as part of the plan. That means whether you are calling a friend in New York, a hotel in Vancouver, or a local number in Mexico City, you are covered by your existing bundle without any extra charge.

The exact number of minutes included depends on your specific plan. Check the terms and conditions of your bundle in your My Lyca dashboard to see what applies to you.

Lyca Mobile Roaming Charges US: What to Expect at the World Cup

The USA is the main host of the 2026 World Cup, with 11 stadiums across cities including New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Seattle, Boston, San Francisco, Philadelphia, and Kansas City. Most of the biggest knockout matches, including the Final on July 19 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, are in the US.

Lyca Mobile Denmark offers two roaming bundles for the US, available to buy as an add-on on top of your existing plan:

Which one to pick?

If you are heading over for a single match or a short trip of up to a week, the 7 Day Roam at 75 Kr gives you 3 GB to cover maps, messaging, streaming highlights, and sharing from the stadium. If you are planning a longer trip, taking in multiple matches or combining the World Cup with travel, the 14 Day Roam at 150 Kr gives you 7 GB over two weeks, which is much more comfortable for daily use.

Both bundles are add-ons, meaning they sit on top of your existing Lyca plan.  

Tip: Buy your roaming bundle before you board. Activating it from Denmark means you are connected the moment you land, without needing Wi-Fi to sort it out at the airport.

Lyca Mobile Roaming Charges Canada: What to Expect at the World Cup

Canada is co-hosting the World Cup with matches in Toronto and Vancouver. Here is a full breakdown of Lyca Mobile roaming charges for Canada, including the available data bundles:

What to keep in mind

The data allowances for Canada are smaller than for the US. 1 GB for a week is workable if you are mostly on Wi-Fi at your hotel or accommodation, but you will want to be a bit more careful with streaming and video. The 14 Day option at 2.5 GB over two weeks gives you more breathing room for a longer trip.

As with the US bundles, both are add-ons you purchase on top of your existing plan.  

Lyca Mobile Roaming Charges Mexico: What to Expect at the World Cup

Mexico is the third co-host of the 2026 World Cup, with matches in Mexico City and Guadalajara, including the opening game on June 11. Before you travel, there is something important to understand about Lyca Mobile roaming charges for Mexico.

Lyca Mobile Denmark currently does not offer a dedicated roaming data bundle for Mexico.

This means that if you use your Danish Lyca SIM for mobile data in Mexico, standard pay-as-you-go roaming rates will apply. These can add up quickly if you are browsing, using maps, or streaming without keeping a close eye on your usage.

Worth remembering though: calls to Mexico are still included in your Lyca bundle as mentioned above, so staying in touch by phone with people in Mexico or back home in Denmark is still covered. It is mobile data specifically that has no bundle option for this destination.

A Few General Tips for World Cup Roaming

• Turn on data roaming only when you need it. If you are not actively using data, switching off mobile data in your phone settings prevents background apps from quietly eating into your allowance or racking up pay-as-you-go charges.
• Use messaging apps over Wi-Fi. WhatsApp, Messenger, and iMessage all work over Wi-Fi at no cost. For keeping in touch with people back home, these are your best friends when abroad.
• Download what you need before you fly. Maps, match schedules, and travel apps take up data when they load. Download them over Wi-Fi at home so you are not using your roaming data for basics.
• Keep an eye on your usage. The Lyca Mobile app lets you check your remaining data balance at any time. It takes 30 seconds and can save you from an unexpected overage.
• Buy your bundle before you leave Denmark. Roaming bundles for the US and Canada can be activated from the Lyca app or website before you travel. Getting it sorted before you board means you land connected.
