India, June 15 -- Kansas City opened its FIFA Fan Festival, turning the grounds of the National World War I Museum and Memorial into an 18-day celebration of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The free event runs across select dates from June 11 through July 11 and is the host city's official fan gathering spot for World Cup.

The festival takes place over 18 days, on June 11-14, 16, 19-21, 24-27, and July 3-5, 9-11. More than 30 matches will be shown live on screen, including all six matches hosted in Kansas City.

Kansas City's Fan Festival is free to the public, which is not the case at every host city across the 13 FIFA World Cup locations. However, advance registration is required, and organizers have warned that capacity is limited.
