BBC Sport estimated England supporters would pay about £6,500 each, while Scotland fans face roughly £7,500 each because of Boston stays and pricier resale tickets.
An England family of four was put at £22,228, versus £25,799 for Scotland, with FIFA resale fees, scarce hotels and costly US rail travel driving totals sharply higher.
The analysis used current resale tickets and centrally located hotels, noting cheaper options may exist farther out, but late-planning supporters still face a tournament priced beyond many fans.
How might US visa restrictions and hotel shortages change who actually attends the World Cup, and what does this mean for international fans?
With millions of tickets unsold, could FIFA's pricing backfire and lead to half-empty stadiums at the 2026 World Cup?
