Dallas’ Klyde Warren Park will host free global watch parties throughout the 2026 FIFA World Cup from June 11 through July 19. Organizers said the broadcast will be available in English and Spanish and will transform Dallas’ town square into a premier public gather place for fans from around the world. “Klyde Warren Park has always been Dallas’ town square — a place where people from every neighborhood, background and culture come together to celebrate the moments that define our city,” President and CEO of Klyde Warren Park, Kit Sawers said. “The FIFA World Cup will bring the world to North Texas, and we’re proud to provide a free, welcoming space where fans and families can experience the excitement together in the heart of Dallas.” The Park expects to show matches every day throughout the tournament, except Independence Day and designated tournament rest days (July 8, 12, 13, 16, and 17), with programming anticipated to begin as early as 6 a.m. and end at 10 p.m. She said there will be massive outdoor screens featuring all of the broadcasts. In addition, there will be experiences, installations, food trucks and dining options for purchase, live music, fitness classes, family fun, special World Cup-inspired programming at the Nancy Best Fountain and appearances by local soccer organizations. Fans are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy matches from the Park lawn. “These watch parties extend the World Cup experience far beyond the stadium. Whether you have match tickets or not, this gives everyone an opportunity to be part of the energy, pride and global connection that comes with hosting one of the world’s biggest sporting events,” Sawers said. On Saturdays and Sundays, Olive Street between the east and west sides of the Park will be transformed into a pedestrian plaza, creating a safer, more connected and walkable experience for visitors as they move between both sides of Dallas’ town square.
