FIFA World Cup 2026 fans will have a chance to be part of the action when the international tournament comes to North Texas in the summer.
According to the North Texas FWC Organizing Committee, the Fan Festival at Fair Park will open June 11 and run throughout the tournament, offering both free and paid options.
“The Fan Fest at Fair Park is in basically lot nine in 10, where the pavilion is, and then lot 10, at any one time, may have 35,000 people there. That’s just the capacity at one time,” NTFWCOC Chief Marketing Officer Noelle LeVeaux said. “We expect some days because fans will turn over based on the matches that are being shown. We expect to see 100,000 people who are there a day in some cases.”
