Your Pre-Trip Checklist for an All-Pro Experience
A smooth trip requires a solid game plan. Beyond booking flights and accommodation, here are a few key things to lock down before you go.
- Passport & Visas: Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates. U.S. citizens typically don’t need a visa for short tourist trips to the UK or Schengen Area countries.
- Game Tickets: The majority of tickets are now digital. This means having reliable internet access on your phone right at the stadium gate is non-negotiable.
- Seamless Connectivity: Forget about hunting for spotty public Wi-Fi or facing shocking international roaming charges from your domestic carrier. An eSIM (embedded SIM) is the modern traveler’s MVP. With a Europe eSIM from Yoho Mobile, you can get online the moment you land, enjoying high-speed data at affordable, local rates.
How an eSIM Elevates Your Game Day Experience
Imagine this: You’re outside Wembley, surrounded by thousands of fans. You need to pull up your QR code ticket, find your gate on the stadium map, and post a selfie to make everyone back home jealous. This is where having your own data plan makes all the difference.
An eSIM provides the best way to use your phone at NFL London games. You can:
- Access Tickets Instantly: No more fumbling for paper tickets or panicking about finding a Wi-Fi hotspot.
- Navigate Like a Local: Use Google Maps or Citymapper to get to the stadium and explore the city without draining your wallet on roaming fees.
- Share Every Moment: From the pre-game tailgate to the final whistle, post, stream, and share your experience in real-time.
And with Yoho Mobile, you’re always covered. Even if you burn through your high-speed data celebrating a touchdown, Yoho Care ensures you stay connected with a basic network, so you’re never truly offline.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do I need a UK-specific eSIM for the NFL London games?
While you can get a UK-only eSIM, a regional Europe plan from Yoho Mobile is often more flexible. It provides coverage across the UK and many other European countries, which is perfect if you plan to visit other places like Paris or Amsterdam during your trip.
How much data do I need for a week-long trip to Europe for an NFL game?
This depends on your usage. For a week, a 5GB to 10GB plan is usually sufficient for navigation, social media, browsing, and streaming. If you plan to stream a lot of videos or use your phone as a hotspot, consider a larger plan. Yoho Mobile allows you to easily top up your data manually if you run low.
Can I keep my US number active while using a Yoho Mobile eSIM?
Absolutely! That’s one of the biggest advantages of Dual SIM technology with an eSIM. You can use the Yoho Mobile eSIM for affordable data while keeping your primary US SIM active for calls and texts from home. Just be sure to turn off data roaming on your primary line to avoid charges.
What happens if I run out of data during the trip?
Don’t worry, you won’t be left disconnected. You can easily purchase a top-up data package through the Yoho Mobile app or website. Plus, our Yoho Care service provides a safety net, ensuring you always have basic connectivity for essential tasks like messaging and maps.
