2026 Kansas City FIFA Fan Fest Location Revealed

KC2026

Is it 2026 yet? Kansas City officials revealed the location of the 2026 FIFA Fan Fest yesterday afternoon.

  • Night at the Museum: The Fan Fest will be held at the National WWI Museum and Memorial. Outside of the six games being played at Arrowhead Stadium, this will serve as the hub of the fan experience with a variety of activations.

  • #1 Fans: FIFA’s Fan Festivals aim to give all levels of soccer fans a world-class experience that involves music, food, and culture. Expect this to look similar to the 2023 NFL Draft, which hosted over 300,000 people in the same location.

The first game of the 2026 FIFA World Cup is scheduled for June 16th, 2026.
