Emerging Tech Sponsorship

Excitement is building as the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaches! With New York and New Jersey set to host several major matches—including the highly anticipated World Cup Final at MetLife Stadium on July 19—the region will be buzzing with fans from across the globe.

Because of this event, finding local accommodations will be a significant challenge. We highly recommend making your travel plans and room reservations as early as possible to ensure availability.

For those visiting the university or the city, please take advantage of NYU's own curated list of Hotel Discounts. This resource provides preferred rates at various hotels near our campuses, helping you secure a stay amidst the World Cup festivities.
