Next summer, New York City is turning into a global soccer celebration.
From July 4–19, 2026, Rockefeller Center will transform into the New York New Jersey World Cup 26 & Telemundo Fan Village — a full-on immersive experience where fans can watch live matches, meet soccer legends, catch musical performances, and explore interactive attractions right in the heart of Manhattan.
The Fan Village will feature a reimagined ice rink as a central soccer pitch, plus the Channel Gardens turned into a “Champions’ Garden,” honoring the eight nations that have lifted the World Cup trophy.
Visitors can expect interactive fan zones, cultural celebrations, and a lively atmosphere that captures the energy of the world’s most-watched sporting event — even if you don’t have a ticket to a match!
Telemundo, the exclusive Spanish-language home of FIFA World Cup 26™, will broadcast all 104 matches live on Telemundo, Universo, and Peacock, while bringing its signature energy directly to Rockefeller Center!
Fans can experience the thrill of every goal, penalty, and historic moment surrounded by other supporters from around the globe.
City officials are already calling it Manhattan’s ultimate summer block party!
“When the world plays, New Yorkers celebrate,” said Mayor Eric Adams.
