Summer Soccer Fest Takes Over Central Florida
From June 11 through July 19, the Orlando Soccer Celebration will turn Pointe Orlando into a sprawling, free‑admission festival that streams every one of the 104 FIFA World Cup 2026 matches. Presented by Verizon, the event invites fans of all ages to gather in the heart of Central Florida for a month‑long celebration of the world’s biggest soccer tournament.
The centerpiece of the experience is Sports & Social – Live!, a dedicated viewing area where supporters can watch the matches on large screens while enjoying live music, global cuisine and a vibrant atmosphere. Orlando City and Orlando Pride players will make appearances, and first‑time guests are invited to attend a complimentary Pride match as part of the festivities.
Beyond the games, the celebration offers an immersive fan zone packed with interactive activities, giveaways and exclusive prizes. Attendees can sample a diverse array of food and beverage options from more than 20 restaurants and bars, while brands such as Inter, Miller's Ale House, Jameson Irish Whiskey, Takis and Travel + Leisure add their own flair to the experience.
The event is backed by a roster of sponsors including Inter, Orlando Health, and Avianca Airlines, underscoring the broad community support for soccer in the region. Admission is completely free, and tickets are not required, making the festival accessible to anyone who wants to join the party.
Located at Pointe Orlando, the open‑air venue provides a dynamic backdrop of entertainment, from live performances to themed nights that highlight specific World Cup match days. Whether fans are looking to watch the action on screen, enjoy international flavors, or simply soak up the soccer‑filled excitement, the celebration promises a memorable summer experience.
