The FIFA World Cup is descending on North America this summer, and for the next eight weeks, daily life will be subtly reorganized around kickoff times. Lunch breaks will stretch to accommodate group-stage matches. Calendars will be checked against tournament brackets. Otherwise reasonable people will become passionately invested in the fortunes of nations they couldn’t have placed on a map a month earlier. This is the gravitational pull of the World Cup.

It doesn’t come cheap on the logistics front, either. Tickets are selling fast, travel is a puzzle and the watch-party economy of snacks, drinks and last-minute grocery runs has a way of adding up. That’s where DoorDash comes in. As an Official Tournament Supporter, they’re rolling out Summer of DashPass, an eight-week run of perks designed to drop DashPass members into the heart of the action, whether that’s the stadium tunnel or a couch in front of a large screen.

One more thing worth knowing: before June 10, DashPass members can pick the team they think will lift the trophy. Place an order to lock it in, and if your team wins, you’ll split $5 million in DoorDash credits with everyone else who called it.

The activation is sprawling, so we’ve done the work of distilling it. Here are five ways DashPass is making this tournament more rewarding for fans, casuals and the newly converted alike.

1. Win tickets to IRL matches

Every order during “Summer of DashPass” is a chance to get closer to the pitch. DashPass members in Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, New Jersey and the Bay Area who place two orders by June 10 are entered to win two tickets to a local World Cup match. Want to go bigger? Place four orders by July 8, and you could win a trip for two to the Final at MetLife Stadium on July 19, flights and hotel included.

2. Get a VIP seat at the watch party

If you’re not at the stadium, you should be at the bar. DoorDash Reservations is hosting exclusive watch parties (21+) at Old Mates in New York on June 13, 19 and 25, with more dates pending based on how things shake out, plus a weekend-long takeover at Bayshore Club in Miami from June 26 to 28. DashPass members get early booking access, branded jerseys at Old Mates and a VIP lounge in Miami. Reserve through the DoorDash app.

3. Skip the traffic with the Match Bus

Anyone who’s tried to drive to any stadium on a huge game day knows the real opponent is the parking lot. DashPass members with match tickets get exclusive access to the Deliver Us to Fútbol Match Buses for select games in New York, New Jersey, Los Angeles, Dallas and Miami. You show up, you ride, you cheer, someone else handles the GPS.

4. Hit the Fan Festivals

The official FIFA Fan Festivals in Los Angeles, Miami, New York City and New Jersey are where the tournament really lives between matches, with screenings, food and crowd energy that turns strangers into best friends for ninety minutes. DashPass members get exclusive on-site perks and at-stadium benefits to make the day feel a little more personal.

5. Game day deals, sorted

The watch-party economy adds up fast, and DashPass is leaning into deals well beyond the snack table. Weekly drops include BOGOs and freebies from Domino’s, Wendy’s, Taco Bell, Dunkin’, Burger King and Subway, plus discounts on groceries at Kroger and Dollar General, everyday essentials at 7-Eleven and even a new TV from Best Buy if your current setup isn’t World Cup-ready. From May 28 to June 28, hunt for Golden Tables in the DoorDash Reservations tab for $25 in credit at spots across NYC, Miami, Chicago, L.A. and San Francisco. And from June 25 to July 8, link your DashPass and Lyft accounts for 10% off on-demand rides in thirteen Host Cities, because someone has to get you home.

DashPass is often described as a way to save, but this summer it’s a membership for the season at hand, the kind that takes care of the small stuff so the big stuff feels bigger. And a lot better.
