Harris County is Ready for the World Cup

Harris County is Ready for the World Cup

With just under two weeks to go until the first FIFA World Cup 26™ game in Houston, Harris County is ready! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and we can’t wait to welcome the world to our community. Judge Hidalgo has been meeting with local, state and federal partners to ensure that the World Cup will be a fun, safe, world-class event.

If you aren’t heading to watch matches at the stadium, you can bring your family and friends to watch the games at Fan Fest in EaDo. Houston’s Fan Fest is the largest viewing experience of its kind in North America, complete with screens, live entertainment from local artists, food and more. The Fan Fest will be just as secure as the stadium, and it’s completely free!
