FIFA Fan Festival guests will get to enjoy the new state-of-the-art amphitheatre, which will be a major legacy piece for British Columbia as well as a showcase of environmental sustainability and spectacular Canadian wood construction. Organizers are planning on live entertainment, cultural showcases, food options, and the ability to watch all the top matches from the new venue.

“The PNE is absolutely thrilled to be named the official FIFA Fan Festival site,” said PNE President and CEO, Shelley Frost. “This is an opportunity to host not only our city and province, but the entire world in a once-in-a-generation event for any city. Additionally, the spectacular new amphitheatre, which will open in time for FIFA World Cup 2026, will be an important arts and cultural legacy venue for British Columbia.”  

The FIFA Fan Festival Vancouver™ will operate throughout the FIFA World Cup 26™, beginning on June 11, 2026, and ending on July 19, 2026. Detailed planning is underway, and the dates and hours of operation, programming, activations, and specific content will be announced at a later date.   

From Vancouver in the north to Mexico City in the south, San Francisco in the west to Boston in the east, a record 104 matches will be played in front of packed crowds in spectacular stadiums as Canada, Mexico and the USA host the FIFA World Cup 26™.
