Arizona State University is gearing up for the Union Jack Classic, an international football matchup between the Sun Devils and the Kansas Jayhawks at Wembley Stadium in London. The event serves as a major milestone for the university as it prepares to launch ASU London, a UK-acrammedited college designed to blend British rigor with American innovation.
Fans traveling to the game can utilize the code ASUINLONDON to secure tickets within Sun Devil fan sections. Additionally, hotel packages offering three and five-night stays are available for attendees.
Travel preparations for the September game include considerations for documentation and weather. American passport holders traveling to London and the United Kingdom must apply for an electronic visa, a process that can be completed in minutes with approval often arriving in less than 24 hours.
Regarding climate, temperatures in London during mid-September average between 66 and 70 degrees, though conditions can cool quickly after sunset. Officials recommend packing layers such as sweatshirts, beanies, and scarves, along with waterproof gear for potential rain.
For transportation from London Heathrow, direct flights are available from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport via British Airways. Once in London, travelers may use the Elizabeth Line or Piccadilly Line to reach the city, or take an express train from Marylebone Train Station to Wembley Stadium, which takes approximately 15 minutes.
Pre-game festivities will include Sparky’s Touchdown Tailgate at BOXPARK, located near Wembley Stadium. This official ASU pregame party offers a full meal and an exclusive Sun Devil football scarf giveaway.
Sun Devil fans can also congregate at the ASU Fan Headquarters located at Passyunk Avenue in Central London, situated near the Waterloo Train and Underground stations. Exclusive game day gear for the Union Jack Classic is available at Sparky’s Stadium Shop.
