The 2026 FIFA World Cup is set to electrify Los Angeles, spreading the excitement of the biggest sports event in the world far beyond the matches at SoFi Stadium. To fully immerse locals and tourists in this worldwide celebration, Los Angeles will launch an extensive engagement program with ten major fan zones on June 11, the day the tournament begins in Mexico City. The main highlight of the event will be at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, hosting a massive FIFA Fan Festival from June 11–15 with a daily capacity of 40,000, making it one of the biggest fan spaces in North America. Football legends like Mia Hamm, Julie Foudy, and Cobi Jones will be at the events, and the festival promises to provide an amazing first week.

After the opening week, the excitement spreads across the region, making it easy for anyone to experience the tournament's thrill. From The Original Farmers Market and Downey to Union Station, La Plaza de Cultura y Artes, Hansen Dam Lake, Magic Johnson Park, Whittier Narrows, and the beaches of Venice, there will be fan zones with capacities of 5,000–10,000 hosting watch parties for the thrilling group-stage games, Round of 16 clashes, and even quarterfinal matchups. The celebration will further expand toward Fairplex in Pomona and West Harbor in San Pedro, where fans will be gathering to watch the semifinals, third-place match, and final together. Each location aims to create a vibrant, community‑driven atmosphere where fans can cheer, celebrate, and experience the global excitement together.
Fans will still need to buy tickets for the events, mainly for safety and crowd management purposes. The goal of these events is to make sure every Angeleno and visitor feels included in this historic moment. With the United States hosting the World Cup for the first time in over 30 years, experiencing it, whether at SoFi Stadium or one of the lively fan zones, will be one of the most thrilling events of the year for anyone in Los Angeles.
With fan zones, festivals, and global football icons coming together, the entire city is going to feel like one giant party for the biggest sporting event. While the city will be buzzing with excitement, nothing compares to actually being inside the stadium; that is why securing World Cup tickets and hospitality packages becomes the key. The hospitality packages take the experience to a completely different level by offering premium seating, gourmet dining, exclusive lounges, dedicated entrances, and full VIP treatment. It is the ultimate way to celebrate with friends or clients by simply enjoying football history in luxury and comfort.
