Kansas City Hosts the World — World Cup 2026 Comes to Arrowhead Stadium
Kansas City will host four World Cup matches in 2026 at Arrowhead Stadium, putting our city on the global stage alongside soccer powerhouses around the world. Official fixtures have already been announced! Scroll down on this blog post to see the team matchups, official dates, and times for the 2026 World Cup games being played at GEHA Field in Arrowhead Stadium in KC.

Why Border Brewing Company Is the Perfect World Cup Watch Party Spot
Located just minutes from downtown and surrounded by galleries, restaurants, and nightlife, our Crossroads Arts District taproom is built for moments like the World Cup.

A Community-Driven Taproom
Border Brewing has always been about community. Our taproom brings together locals, visitors, artists, and neighbors, making it the ideal environment for World Cup watch parties where camaraderie and shared excitement matter just as much as the scoreline.
Craft Beer Brewed in Kansas City
We’ll have our flagship beers flowing for every match, including:
- Stay Classy IPA — a West Coast IPA that’s light, crisp, slightly bitter, but balanced.
- Strawberry Blonde Ale — refreshing and crowd-pleasing
- Lima Fresca Salted Lime Kölsch — bright, citrusy, and made for summer soccer vibes
We also proudly offer Kansas City’s first locally brewed non-alcoholic beer, the Baseline Non-Alcoholic Series, so everyone can join the celebration, no matter their preference.
