No Drone Zones in effect at all FIFA World Cup 2026 stadiums

Attention, drone pilots: FAA No Drone Zones will be in effect at all FIFA World Cup 2026 stadiums and surrounding event spaces as the matches continue through Jul. 19. The temporary flight restrictions mean that unauthorized drone flights are strictly prohibited in the designated airspace and surrounding grounds. “Taking off, landing, or flying a drone within these restricted areas,” says the FAA, “is a serious violation of federal and local regulations.”

Avoid jail time and fines of up to US$100,000. Play it safe—leave your drone at home.
