Levi Stadium, located in Santa Clara, California, will be hosting numerous FIFA 2026 World Cup games and fan festivals this summer through July 2026. These venues are designated as No Drone Zones. Flying drones near stadiums is both illegal and dangerous, and violators will face severe penalties, including prosecution. It is advised to leave your drone at home, as operating one near stadiums is akin to receiving a "red card." Those who fly drones illegally will be identified and prosecuted, with consequences for reckless or criminal use including fines exceeding $100,000, criminal charges, incarceration, and drone confiscation. The primary goal is safety for every fan at every match, supported by a comprehensive security plan incorporating advanced anti-drone technology. If you observe a drone violating these rules, report it immediately to 911, on-site law enforcement, or the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI.
