World Cup 2026

The Beautiful Game on the World's Stage | June 11 - July 19 

Football, soccer, whatever you call it, it's coming to the U.S. this summer, culminating in one of the biggest sporting events on the planet: the World Cup. Hosted in North and South America, the World Cup is bringing the top talent from around the globe, drawing thousands of die-hard followers and turning the eyes of the world to the United States, Canada and Mexico for one month of sporting action unlike any other.

Milwaukee isn't one of the host cities. It won't be amid the throngs of orange-clad Netherlands fans, nor the raucous chants of "I believe we will win" of the American Outlaws, nor the roar of the crowd as the winning side raises the Copa Mundial as confetti falls in New York/New Jersey Stadium. In fact, the closest is 570 miles away. But that's the good news.

For the price of a singular World Cup ticket, you can pretty much plan a full-blown summer of soccer in Milwaukee, with everything you need for a world-class getaway worthy of the Golden Ball itself. We're talking watch parties so massive you feel like you're in the stadium, Deutsch brews with German national team views at Old German Beer Hall and an authentic fish and chips as you watch the British kick and chip their way through the biggest sporting event on the planet. Consider Milwaukee your unofficial World Cup hub with watch spots, soccer stops and things to you explore as the teams score.

Milwaukee's Soccer Culture

With the championship caliber of the Brewers and Bucks, it's easy to confuse Milwaukee as solely a basketball or baseball town, but it's so much more. Inside bars like Nomad World Pub, Three Lions Pub, Red Lion Pub and The Highbury Pub, Milwaukee's soccer (football) culture thrives. They're the headquarters of local supporters clubs, and one of the best places to catch the world's game throughout the tournament. The Milwaukee Wave and Torrent take that excitement from the barstool to the pitch, with indoor and outdoor soccer action. And local clubs like Bavarian Soccer Club are bringing up the next generation of talent, ready for the World Cup in the years to come. Get yourself involved below.
