About the World Cup

The center of live entertainment in 2026

The 2026 World Cup turns Mexico into the live-entertainment capital of the summer. Beyond the matches, the host cities — Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey — pack 697 confirmed events into the tournament window: concerts, festivals, fan fests and experiences for traveling fans and locals alike.

The musical centerpiece is the FIFA Fan Festival in Monterrey's Parque Fundidora, a concert series featuring Chayanne, Imagine Dragons, Grupo Firme, Enrique Iglesias, El Gran Silencio and more. In Mexico City, Golazo Fest and "México Suena a Mundial" kick off the party on opening day. Up north, Toronto opens with the FIFA Countdown Concert, and Toronto and Vancouver host 1223 events during the tournament.

This page gathers the full agenda with real dates, venues and official ticket links. If you're traveling for the World Cup, this is your guide to everything outside the stadium.
