It’s about to kick off for LA soccer fans.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is bringing the party straight to our neighborhoods.
Organizers have rolled out 10 official Fan Zones across the City of Angels for the entire 39-day tournament. No need to fight forpricey SoFi Stadium tickets, you can catch every match via massive screens dotting the LA skyline.
Fans will be able to take in group stage matches, including USA vs Australia and Mexico vs Korea Republic, plus multi-day passes and multi-game packages in iconic settings including downtown LA and beachfront backdrops.
But the Fan Zones are offering so much more than the mere chance to take in the beautiful game. They’ll also be neighborhood-style viewing events complete with live music, food vendors, cultural vibes and family fun practically in your own backyard that will shine a light on the diversity of LA’s communities, much like the game itself.
Here are the locations, include some of the city’s most recognizable and accessible spots, where you can take in the World Cup:

The Fan Zones complement the mainFIFA Fan Festivalat the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, June 11–14, and extend the tournament’s energy into communities throughout the greater LA County.
Kathryn Schloessman, president and CEO of the LA World Cup 26 Host Committee, said the zones are designed to create “accessible, vibrant gathering places where fans can come together to celebrate the global game.”
From beachfront vibes in Venice to historic landmarks like Union Station, and sweeping green spaces in the San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys, the setup aims to make the World Cup feel truly regional rather than confined to the stadium nosebleed section.
