The 2026 FIFA World Cup, co-hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada, kicks off on June 11, 2026. In Strasbourg, fans can experience the tournament at designated fan zones, with matches broadcast live during summer hours.
Security measures, including bag searches and pat-downs, have been implemented at fan zones across the city, following concerns raised during the 2022 Qatar World Cup. Local authorities have confirmed these checks are standard for large public gatherings.
The tournament features 48 teams, with matches scheduled across 16 venues in North America. Strasbourg's fan zones will operate daily, offering free entry and food vendors. No specific incidents have been reported in the city as of June 11.
