Updated: June 202625 min read

If you are flying into the NY/NJ area for a single match and flying out the very next morning, booking a hotel immediately next to Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) is the most efficient strategy. It guarantees you will not miss your flight while still offering fantastic transit options to the stadium.

1. Newark Liberty International Airport Marriott

This is the only hotel located directly on the airport property. You can literally take a shuttle from your terminal to the lobby in 5 minutes. From there, you take the AirTrain to the NJ Transit station, which offers a fast, direct rail connection to the Meadowlands via Secaucus.

2. Renaissance Newark Airport Hotel

Located just off the airport property, this hotel features massive, soundproof windows (crucial when sleeping next to a runway) and runs a constant, reliable shuttle service to the terminals. It is a premium option for business travelers and football fans alike.

3. SpringHill Suites by Marriott Newark Liberty International

If you need slightly more space, the SpringHill suites offer excellent value, free breakfast, and an airport shuttle. Because it sits right near the major highways, catching an Uber directly to MetLife Stadium takes only about 15-20 minutes depending on traffic.
