The first of six World Cup matches that will be played in Kansas City kicks off Tuesday night at Kansas City Stadium.

If you are lucky enough to have a ticket to the match, your best bet to get there is a ConnectKC26 Stadium Direct option.

To reserve your ride, you must go to the KC2026 website.

Stadium Direct runs from the FIFA Fan Festival, the Plaza or designated park-and-ride locations directly to the stadium.

The service costs $15 per rider, per match for round-trip service. A match ticket is required.

There are several locations:

• ConnectKC26 Bus Mall: 2644 Warwick Trafficway, Kansas City, MO, 64108
• Graceway Park & Ride: 8611 E. 55th St., Kansas City, MO, 64129
