Pennsylvania's FIFA Fan Zones™

The FIFA World Cup 2026™ is coming to Pennsylvania, and the energy won’t stay in just one city. It’s spreading across the Commonwealth.

In Pittsburgh, Reading, and Scranton, Pennsylvania Fan Zones will turn everyday spaces into places to watch, cheer, and take it all in together. Presented by Philadelphia Soccer 2026 and Visit PA, Fan Zones will combine World Cup viewing with local flavor and entertainment to create match-making memories for all ages.

Each Fan Zone blends the tournament with what makes each place its own: Local food and drinks. Live music. Soccer activations. Space to hang out, show up with friends, or make new ones. And, they're all free and open to the public, with advance registration to keep things comfortable.

And the best part? You don’t have to be in the stadium to feel like you’re there. Philadelphia’s FIFA Fan Festival™ at Lemon Hill in Fairmount Park and various Fan Zones around the state will let you follow every moment of the tournament right here in Pennsylvania.
