Columbia's Guide to the 2026 World Cup
Let's play!
There are a variety of ways to spend your time and money if you are interested in watching the upcoming World Cup. Local bars, watch parties with friends, and attending games at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City are just some of the options that Columbia residents have. Click below to explore!
Kick off!
Let's start with a budget! Attending World Cup games is a big expense, but you can still enjoy the games to the fullest without splashing on the in-game experience.
Columbia residents Zyeon Oatts and Ben Heigele agree! They both spent the 2022 World Cup watching the Team USA games at a local bar, and plan on doing the same for the 2026 edition.
Going to a bar isn't your only option on a budget. Every single World Cup game will be streamed on YouTube TV, Hulu with live TV, Fox One, and the Fox Sports App.

Even though teams have yet to be announced for the games at Arrowhead Stadium, tickets are already selling fast and start at $215 per ticket. You can also attend out of state games across the country. Team USA is playing their group stage games in Seattle and California. Click below to purchase tickets in Kansas City and for Team USA.

For those looking to stay local and not splash on tickets to a game, heading over to a local bar to watch the games and streaming the World Cup from home are both great options.
There will be World Cup games held throughout Canada, Mexico, and the USA! Luckily, Kansas City is a great option to catch a game close to home, but traveling to catch a game would be an unforgettable experience.
There are some great local bars that you can watch a number of the World Cup games at! International Tap House, known familiarly as ITAP, is the consensus choice for soccer superfans watching the World Cup games. During the 2022 World Cup, ITAP had drink deals throughout the tournament, and also hosts the Columbia Chapter of the American Outlaws, which is the most prominent Team USA soccer fan organization
Other bars in downtown Columbia, such as Günter Hans and McNally's had watch parties and showed games during the 2022 World Cup. It is also likely that other sports bars around town will be showing Team USA games during the World Cup

Watch parties are tons of fun! Columbia resident Auvrey Pierro agrees that watching at home is the way to go. Grab some snacks, drinks, and a subscription to a streaming site that will show the games and you are all set to go. Whether you are gathering some friends or watching by yourself, the 2026 World Cup is sure to be exciting.
The full broadcast schedule for the 2026 World Cup will be released following the Final Draw on December 5, 2025. The draw will put all 48 qualified countries into one of twelve groups, where they will play 3 games to qualify for the knockout stages. 32 teams will advance from the group stage to the knockouts, where games are win or go home.
