FIFA Fan Festival Returns With 13 Sites Across the Host Nations
FIFA's Fan Festival returns for 2026 with 13 free-to-attend sites across the United States, Canada and Mexico.
As the 2026 World Cup approaches, FIFA has set out plans for its Fan Festival programme, with 13 designated sites spread across the United States, Canada and Mexico. The free-to-attend venues are designed to let supporters experience the tournament without a match ticket.
According to FIFA, each site will offer live screenings of matches alongside entertainment stages, food and cultural activities. The festivals are scheduled to run throughout the competition, opening around the June 11 start and continuing until the final in mid-July.
Spreading the fan zones across all three host countries reflects the scale of the first 48-team World Cup, which will be staged in cities thousands of miles apart. For fans not attending games in person, the festivals are positioned as the central gathering points to follow the tournament.
