World Cup 2026 Schedule: Where to Watch in the U.S., Canada and Mexico
With three host countries, 16 host cities, 104 matches and a record 48 teams competing, nothing about this year’s FIFA World Cup is small — including the ticket prices.
Still, millions of fans are expected to flock to stadiums, street festivals and bars across Canada, Mexico and the United States from the first kickoff, on June 11 in Mexico City, to the final, on July 19 at New York New Jersey (a.k.a. MetLife) Stadium — like all the venues, temporarily given city-specific names for the tournament.
Whether you’ve saved up for a once-in-a-lifetime trip, or you happened to score tickets in a city you’ve never visited, this guide is for you. It offers basic information about schedules, events, places to gather, how to get around and ideas for what else to do while you’re there.
This World Cup will be a celebration of soccer, of course, but it’s also a tribute to 16 special cities planning big parties, and you are invited.

Fan festivals
Matches will be shown on big screens at the official fan festival at Centennial Olympic Park, built for the 1996 Summer Olympics, a 10-minute walk from the stadium. General admission tickets to the fan festival are free, but you can purchase access to V.I.P. areas. Atlanta’s Beltline will also be hosting fan events along 17 miles of trail, great for watch-party hopping.
Where to watch
For lively match-watching atmospheres, check out STATS Brewpub right outside the stadium, Brewhouse Cafe in Little Five Points, Fado Irish Bar in Midtown or Park Tavern in Piedmont Park.
Getting around
Road closures and congestion will make driving difficult. Instead, try the MARTA, the city’s rail system. New for the Cup, you can now tap to pay ($2.50 one-way), and trains will be running at higher frequency. A new bus rapid transit line (BRT) links downtown to the Beltline as well.
Other attractions
Consider purchasing tickets ahead of time for the city’s other attractions, like the Georgia Aquarium, World of Coca-Cola and the National Center for Civil and Human Rights. You can also explore the city’s green spaces, like the Beltline and Piedmont Park, and snap photos of the street art in the Krog Street Tunnel.

Fan festival
It won’t take long for any visitor to realize Boston is a sports town. That spirit will be on full display from June 12 to 27 at a free festival at City Hall Plaza, where matches will be broadcast live and fans can gather to enjoy food, drinks and live entertainment.
Where to watch
Check out the Banshee in Dorchester; the Phoenix Landing in Cambridge; the Greatest Bar, just steps from TD Garden in the North End; or the nearby Banners Kitchen & Tap. If you prefer an espresso instead of a pint, then head to Caffè dello Sport.
Getting around
Gillette Stadium is in Foxborough, about 28 miles southwest of downtown Boston. If you want to skip the roughly 35-minute drive, and the traffic, express trains will run directly to Foxboro Station for match ticket holders on each game day, according to the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. Round-trip tickets are $80. Uber will offer postmatch shuttles back to Boston for $45. You can easily navigate Boston using the city’s subway system, known locally as the “T” ($2.40). Finally, note that Providence, R.I., about 25 miles southwest of Foxborough, is another option for fans looking for a place to stay.
Other attractions
For the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, immerse yourself in history by walking the Freedom Trail, which starts in Boston Common and ends at the Bunker Hill Monument. For some respite from the crowds, the Museum of Fine Art, near the lush Back Bay Fens, is showing an exhibition called “Framing Nature: Gardens and Imagination” (through June 28) or check out the waterfront Institute of Contemporary Art, designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro. Finally, learn why Boston is known as the City of Champions, with a visit to TD Garden for a tour of the Sports Museum.

Or endure traffic with a rental car or a ride-hailing service. Uber is offering return shuttle service after matches for $45.
Other attractions

The most popular way to reach the stadium, southwest of downtown, will be the city’s Metro light rail system, which is tap to pay ($1.25).

Other attractions
Visitors often love Houston’s museums, like the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, or the Menil Collection, and its dining options, like Viet-Cajun crawfish at Crawfish and Noodles or award-winning Texas barbecue at Truth BBQ.

Canada vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina
June 20
Germany vs. Ivory Coast
June 23
Panama vs. Croatia
Fan festivals
The FIFA fan festival at the Bentway, a public space built below the Gardiner Expressway in the bustling Fort York neighborhood, is the official place to watch live broadcasts of the matches and partake in fan experiences. Only premium tickets (starting at 100 Canadian dollars, or $73, plus tax and fees) are still available. Free Canada Soccer House watch parties are set to take place at the Harbourfront Centre from June 11 to July 2.
Where to watch
Toronto has no shortage of good neighborhood soccer bars. The classic Cafe Diplomatico in Little Italy is a favorite spot to watch matches. The Dock Ellis in Trinity Bellwoods is a hip sports bar with a strong Arsenal following. Real Sports Bar and Grill, next to where the Maple Leafs and Raptors play, is more central (and not tied to any club) and features a giant screen.
Getting around
To offset expected congestion, the Toronto Transit Commission’s trains, buses and streetcars will offer increased service and extended hours on all routes (standard fare, 3.30 dollars). A temporary streetcar platform on Fleet Street should offset road closures around the stadium, and there will be designated drop-off and pickup areas for ride-hailing services.
Other attractions
First-time visitors should check out the 1,800-foot CN Tower, Waterworks Food Hall, the Arcadia Earth immersive art exhibit at the Well market hall, and Riverdale Park East for panoramic views of Toronto.

Fan festivals
Fans can stroll the Match Day Spectator Route, a pedestrian zone that winds along the waterfront near the stadium, starting four hours before matches. At nearby Science World, where the dome from Expo 86 is transformed into a giant soccer ball, the FIFA Museum exhibition “Soccer & Technology” explores the evolution of technology in the sport. The free FIFA fan festival, which includes family-friendly experiences and a concert series, will take place on the 114-acre Pacific National Exhibition grounds at Hastings Park. Free Canada Soccer House watch parties are set to take place at the Shipyards, a dining, shopping and recreation area in North Vancouver, from June 11 to July 7.
Where to watch
For those who prefer to enjoy the matches over a pint, the London pub in Chinatown has long been popular for English Premier League loyalists. Steps from the stadium, the Shark Club, though not a classic soccer pub, is the city’s premier sports bar and will be transformed into an official Canadian rooting zone for Team Canada’s two local matches.
Getting around
SkyTrain, Vancouver’s three-line rapid transit system, serves the stadium as well as the downtown area (3.35 Canadian dollars, or about $2.45). Increased bus service, including free shuttles from nearby SkyTrain stations, will ease the trip to the FIFA fan festival.
Other attractions
It’s unforgivable to visit Vancouver without indulging in nature. A bike ride around the sea wall or the semi-torturous Grouse Grind, a steep one-and-a-half-mile hike, will level out your prematch nerves. The scenic Shipyards area, across the Burrard Inlet and accessible from downtown by a 15-minute Seabus ride (around 5 dollars), will also draw large crowds with free match-watching parties.

The official fan festival will take place in Plaza Liberación in the city’s historic center, between the twin-spired Guadalajara Metropolitan Cathedral and the Teatro Degollado, an elegant theater that opened in 1866. Food stalls showcasing local specialties will fill the adjacent Plaza de Armas, and the theater will host cultural events. Entry is free, but advance registration is required.
Where to watch
Most of the bars and restaurants along Avenida Chapultepec and in the surrounding Colonia Americana will be showing World Cup matches. Gallo Cervecero is an American-style sports bar (wings and burgers), and Santo Coyote offers an extensive Mexican menu. Or try one of the city’s classic cantinas: Cantina La Fuente in the historic center is a landmark where you may hear live mariachi between matches, while the walls at Los Famosos Equipales in Artesanos are plastered with old sports photos and posters.
Getting around
Uber and other ride-hailing services are available, but to avoid the traffic, you can take the light rail (El Tren Ligero) or city buses to the historic center (30 pesos, or about $1.75, for a rechargeable card and 11 pesos a ride) or use the city’s bike-sharing program (120 pesos a day) to get around downtown. Mexico will deploy almost 100,000 security personnel in the three host cities, a particular concern in Guadalajara after drug cartel violence erupted there in February.
Other attractions
The frescoes of José Clemente Orozco covering the chapel at the Hospicio Cabañas, a UNESCO World Heritage site, are a masterpiece of Mexican muralism. The town of Tlaquepaque, reachable by light rail in the southern part of the metropolitan area, offers a boundless variety of handicrafts and folk art. A day trip to the town of Tequila to tour distilleries will take you through a stunning landscape of blue agave plantations.

Even local taco stands will be packed with soccer fans, but you can’t go wrong in traditional cantinas: Cantina Covadonga in Colonia Roma; Cantina El León de Oro in Escandón; Cantina el Bosque in San Miguel Chapultepec; or El Gran León de Oro in San José Insurgentes. Los Panchos is a family-friendly restaurant with several branches. You’ll want to reserve in advance at all these places.
Getting around
Mexico City’s streets will be even more clogged than usual, so you will need patience waiting for Uber or other ride-hailing services. Try using public transportation, particularly the Metro (5 pesos, or about 30 cents), Metrobus (6 pesos) or light rail (3 pesos). The same fare card (15 pesos) also works for the city’s bike-sharing service (about 128 pesos a day). Note that the light-rail stop for the stadium is called Estadio Azteca, the name most locals use for the venue.
Other attractions
Several museums, including the Museo Jumex and the Museo Franz Mayer, are featuring World Cup-themed exhibitions. But don’t miss the city’s highlights: the National Anthropology Museum, the Xochimilco canals and the Frida Kahlo Museum (buy now; tickets sell out far in advance). The Gelman Collection exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art is a unique opportunity to see iconic works by Kahlo, Diego Rivera and other 20th-century Mexican masters.

Indio Azteca is a traditional restaurant in San Pedro Garza García serving the region’s meat specialties. (Its downtown Monterrey cantina is for men only.) El Gran Pastor is a restaurant chain known for Monterrey’s specialty, cabrito (kid goat). Screens line the walls at Strikers Sports Joint.

A refillable card is 20 pesos, or about $1.15; the metro is 9.90 pesos and the bus 15 pesos. The D route of the free bus service Regio Ruta runs through the center.
