THE City of Vancouver on Tuesday announced that the FIFA Fan Festival Vancouver will be located at Hastings Park, also known as the PNE.
“The FIFA Fan Festival Vancouver promises to be the ultimate destination for those without a match ticket to soak in the excitement during the 2026 tournament,” said Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim. “Packed with live entertainment, cultural showcases, delicious food, and so much more, this event is set to create an unforgettable fan experience right here in Vancouver. Families, football lovers, and visitors will be buzzing about it for generations to come.”
The City says that as one of British Columbia’s best-known locations for fun, entertainment and community, hosting millions of people annually at Hastings Park, the PNE is a natural fit for the FIFA Fan Festival site. Fan Festival guests will be especially excited to visit the state-of-the-art new amphitheatre, which will be a major legacy piece for British Columbia as well as a showcase of environmental sustainability and spectacular Canadian wood construction.
“The PNE is absolutely thrilled to be named the official FIFA Fan Festival site,” said PNE President and CEO Shelley Frost. “This is an opportunity to host not only our city and province, but the entire world in a once-in-a-generation event for any city. Additionally, the spectacular new amphitheatre, which will open in time for FIFA World Cup 2026, will be an important arts and cultural legacy venue for British Columbia.”
The FIFA Fan Festival Vancouver will operate throughout the FIFA World Cup 26, beginning on June 11, 2026, and ending on July 19, 2026. Detailed planning is underway, and the dates and hours of operation, programming, activations, and specific content will be announced at a later date.
