SFO → Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara via BART + Caltrain + VTA, OR BART to Milpitas + VTA. Clipper card $3 one-time.

Last updated · Sources: BART · Caltrain · VTA · SF Bay Area FWC26 Host Committee

Levi's Stadium is in Santa Clara — about 35 miles south of SFO. The Bay Area has the most complex multi-system journey of any host city, but a single Clipper card works across all of them. BART runs long trains with extra security and limited-express service after midnight for evening matches.

Para el aficionado común que aterriza en SFO: el estadio Levi's queda en Santa Clara, ~35 millas al sur. La ruta oficial: BART Red Line (Millbrae) → transbordo a Caltrain → transbordo a VTA Orange Line en Mountain View → bájate en Great America Station (junto al estadio). O desde el East Bay: BART hasta Milpitas → VTA Orange Line → Great America. Una sola tarjeta Clipper ($3 dólares por la tarjeta) sirve para los tres sistemas.
