Key facts
About the Match
France face Italy at the Stade de France on 2 October 2026, one of two home fixtures that week alongside France v Belgium on 5 October 2026.
The Stade de France in Saint-Denis has hosted some of football's biggest occasions, including the 1998 World Cup Final, the 2008 European Championship, Champions League finals, and the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Tickets, VIP hospitality packages and parking are managed by the Fédération Française de Football and the official Stade de France ticketing platform, not by Grand Paris Transport. We handle your journey only, not your match access.
Getting to Stade de France from Airports and Central Paris
From Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG), the Stade de France is a relatively short drive depending on traffic, making a private transfer with flight tracking and meet & greet a comfortable way to start matchday after a long flight.
From Orly, journeys cross central Paris or use the ring roads, and timing matters more given possible congestion on a matchday evening.
Travellers arriving by Eurostar into Gare du Nord are close to Saint-Denis, and a private chauffeur pickup avoids taxi queues straight off the train.
Central Paris hotels are typically a short, direct drive north to the stadium; a chauffeur collecting you at your hotel removes the need to navigate matchday road closures or public transport crowding.
Getting Around on Matchday with a Private Chauffeur
Matchdays at Stade de France bring heavy local traffic and pedestrian restrictions around the venue. A professional chauffeur who knows the area can plan drop-off and pick-up points away from the busiest access roads.
Hourly hire is a practical option if your day includes a pre-match dinner, a VIP hospitality reception, or an evening event after the final whistle; your chauffeur waits and adjusts to your schedule without extra booking steps.
If you're also attending France v Belgium on 5 October, a multi-day chauffeur programme covers both fixtures and any airport or hotel transfers in between.
Planning Your Matchday Transport
Book your chauffeur in advance for both the outbound journey to Stade de France and the return leg, since post-match demand for taxis around Saint-Denis can be high.
Allow extra time for the return journey, as road closures near the stadium are lifted gradually once crowds disperse.

Chauffeur tips for France v Italy
- Book your chauffeur transfer well ahead of matchday, as Saint-Denis traffic builds early on the day of major fixtures.
- Share your flight or train details at booking so your chauffeur can track delays and adjust pickup timing automatically.
- Agree a pickup point for after the match in advance; road closures near Stade de France mean standard taxi ranks can be hard to reach on foot.
- Consider hourly hire if your visit includes VIP hospitality or a pre-match dinner, so your chauffeur simply waits and adapts.
- If you're also travelling to France v Belgium on 5 October, ask about a combined multi-day chauffeur programme.
