FIFA World Cup 2026 — Bay Area

The Bay Area's role

• Levi's Stadium hosts 6 matches under the FIFA name “San Francisco Bay Area Stadium.”
• There is no official FIFA Fan Festival sited in the Bay (those are in LA, NYC, Boston, etc.). Instead, the Bay Area Host Committee runs a distributed network of 30+ free fan zones.
• All six Levi's Stadium matches were played, and the local fan-zone network carried the tournament through the final — Mission Rock, Pier 39, San Pedro Square, the Ferry Building, and The Ruins all ran late-round programming.
