🏠 Moving Home This Summer During the FIFA World Cup 2026
Summer is always one of the busiest times of year for moving home in the UK—and 2026 is no different. With warmer weather, longer days, and school holidays, it’s the perfect time to relocate. But this year brings an extra layer of excitement: the FIFA World Cup 2026, taking place from 11 June to 19 July across the USA, Canada, and Mexico. [fifa.com], [en.wikipedia.org]
Whether you're upgrading your home or relocating across the Midlands, planning your move alongside the world’s biggest football tournament can be both fun and challenging.
At IMG Removals, we’ve put together our top tips to help you enjoy the football while staying organised for your move.
⚽ Why Summer 2026 Is a Unique Time to Move
The FIFA World Cup 2026 is the largest ever tournament, featuring 48 teams and over 100 matches played throughout June and July. [fifa.com], [fifaworldcupnews.com]
That means:
- More social gatherings (and distractions!)
- Increased travel and traffic in some areas
- Busy schedules for families and football fans
But don’t worry—moving house can still be smooth with the right planning.
☀️ Top Summer Moving Tips from IMG Removals
1. Book Your Removals Company Early
Summer is the peak season for house moves in the UK, with higher demand due to school holidays and better weather. [relokates.co.uk]
👉 Secure your move early with our professional removals service to avoid disappointment.
2. Plan Around Key Matches
If you’re a football fan, check the official FIFA match schedule before choosing your moving date. [fifa.com]
- Avoid moving during big games (especially England matches!)
- Schedule breaks so you can catch key moments
- Use the excitement to keep spirits high on moving day
3. Start Early to Beat the Heat
Summer brings longer daylight hours, making it easier to complete your move—but the heat can slow things down.
✔ Start early in the morning
✔ Stay hydrated
✔ Keep breaks planned
This helps protect both your belongings and your energy levels.
4. Protect Heat-Sensitive Items
Warm weather can affect certain belongings during transport:
- Electronics
- Candles and toiletries
- Food items
Keep these items with you where possible, especially on hot days.
5. Take Advantage of the Longer Days
One of the biggest benefits of a summer move is extended daylight hours, which can make your move more flexible and less rushed. [movivanrem...vals.co.uk]
That means more time to:
- Load and unload safely
- Organise your new home
- Settle in before evening
