Downtown Denver turning into FIFA World Cup watch party

Jun 11, 2026, 6:31 PM

Downtown Denver is ready to watch FIFA!

The 2026 FIFA World Cup soccer tournament kicks off  June 11. Over 100 games will take place beginning today through mid-July.

If you’re looking for a fun place to catch the FIFA World Cup, downtown Denver is getting in on the action in a big way.

Skyline Park is being transformed into a World Cup watch party hub, right near Arapahoe Street and 16th Street.

The Colorado Rapids, Street Soccer USA and the Downtown Denver Partnership are teaming up to bring fans together throughout the tournament.

Games will be shown on a big screen, so you can cheer on your favorite country with a crowd instead of watching from the couch.

And it’s not just soccer. Organizers are also planning music, food, a beer garden and family-friendly activities for kids.

Flags representing all 48 countries competing in the 2026 FIFA World Cup are also on display, adding to the international party vibe.

Basically, downtown Denver is about to feel a lot more like the center of the soccer world.

Macgregor Square is also a HUGE place to watch the games.
