The NYNJ World Cup 26 Jersey Fan Hub at Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison will be open for eight days during the group stage and eight days during the knockout stage, the FIFA World Cup 2026 New York New Jersey Host Committee announced.
The Fan Hub will feature real-time broadcasts, live entertainment, interactive fan
activations, and sponsorship integrations. Fans will have the opportunity to watch live
matches from the stadium floor, highlighted by a state-of-the-art 60’ screen on the pitch.
Opening Day (June 14) also will feature a special Family Day experience, including a
live KIDZ BOP LIVE concert, player meet-and-greets, and additional youth-focused
programming, alongside live streams of the Germany vs. Curaçao and Netherlands vs.
Japan matches.
Tickets are available here.
Hype House will also serve as a central gathering point within the venue, featuring 20
large screen TVs, a 360-degree bar, and a built-in stage for musical performances and

The Fan Hub dates do not necessarily line up with matches at MetLife Stadium, which
will host eight matches, including the final.
A full schedule of matches to be live streamed at the Stadium is available here.
Tickets for all Group Stage dates are available via Sports Illustrated Tickets, while
Knockout Stage tickets will be released at a later date. Additional details of each day’s

FIFA World Cup 2026 tournament. For a full schedule of dates, hours, and additional

The Fan Hub is just one of many places where fans can gather to watch games. The
state recently announced $5 million in grants for local areas can hold gatherings,
including the Flag Cities promotion as well as matches at The Yard in Middlesex
County and in Newark.
State officials hope these local sites, which replaced the state’s efforts in a Fan Fest in
Jersey City, will help change local habits.
