Weather & Packing

Historical averages for each game's date and location, not a forecast — check closer to the date for the real thing.

Melbourne

Fri 11 Sep · Spring
High17°C / 63°F
Low7°C / 45°F
Rain~10 days/mo

The MCG is fully open-air — September is Melbourne's wettest month and the wind off the open bowl can make it feel colder than the number suggests. Morning kickoff, so it'll be near its coolest.

  • Layers you can shed as the day warms
  • Light waterproof jacket rather than an umbrella — most stadiums restrict large ones
  • Closed-toe shoes

Rio de Janeiro

Sun 27 Sep · Early spring
High27°C / 81°F
Low19°C / 66°F
Rain~45% chance

Warm and humid with an evening kickoff. Maracanã's roof covers the seating bowl, so a shower during the game is less of an issue than getting to and from it.

  • Light, breathable clothing
  • Sunscreen and a hat for the hours before kickoff
  • Compact rain layer for the walk in, comfortable shoes for a lot of walking

London – Tottenham

Sun 4 & 11 Oct · Autumn
High15–17°C / 59–63°F
Low8–10°C / 46–50°F
Rain~14 days/mo

Standard London autumn: a genuine chance of rain most days and the year's windiest month. Afternoon kickoff, so it won't be the coldest part of the day.

  • Waterproof jacket, not just a fashion coat
  • A warm layer underneath — temperature drops fast once the sun goes
  • Comfortable, weatherproof shoes

London – Wembley

Sun 18 Oct · Autumn
High13–15°C / 55–59°F
Low8°C / 46°F
Rain~14 days/mo

A notch cooler than the Tottenham games two weeks earlier, same wet-and-windy autumn pattern.

  • Waterproof jacket and a warm layer
  • Gloves if you run cold — afternoons can feel raw once the wind picks up
  • Comfortable, weatherproof shoes

Paris

Sun 25 Oct · Autumn
High14°C / 57°F
Low7–11°C / 45–52°F
Rain~14 days/mo

Very similar profile to London the same week. Stade de France's fixed roof shelters most of the seating bowl but not all of it, and this is also the weekend France's clocks go back.

  • Waterproof jacket and layers
  • Compact umbrella for the walk between the RER and the stadium
  • Comfortable shoes — expect some standing and queuing outdoors

Madrid

Sun 8 Nov · Autumn
High14–15°C / 57–59°F
Low6–8°C / 43–46°F
Rain~7 days/mo

The wildcard: since its 2024 renovation the Bernabéu has a retractable roof that fully seals the bowl, and Real Madrid have already used it to shut out bad weather for matches. If it's closed for this game, the numbers above may barely matter inside the stadium — they'll still matter for the walk there.

  • A mid-weight layer for outside the stadium
  • Light rain layer just in case the roof's open
  • Comfortable shoes — drier than London or Paris this time of year

Munich

Sun 15 Nov · Winter arriving
High9°C / 48°F
Low2°C / 36°F
Rain~15 days/mo

The coldest game on the calendar — Munich averages 11 snowy days in November, so a flurry isn't out of the question. Allianz Arena's roof shelters most of the seating but doesn't fully enclose it.

  • A proper winter coat, not just a jacket
  • Hat, gloves, thermal base layer
  • Waterproof boots — cold beats rain as the main factor here

Mexico City

Sun 22 Nov · Dry season
High22°C / 72°F
Low6–9°C / 43–48°F
Rain~4 days/mo

A big day-night swing thanks to the city's altitude (~2,240m/7,350ft) — and kickoff is in the evening, so you'll feel the cold end of that swing, not the warm one. Rain is unlikely this time of year, but the sun is stronger than it feels at altitude.

  • Light layers for the day, a genuinely warm one for after sunset
  • Sunscreen even though it's cooler than you'd expect
  • Stay hydrated and take it easy the first day if you're not used to altitude
