The 2026 FIFA Fan Festival Monterrey takes place at the iconic Macroplaza in Downtown Monterrey — one of the world's largest public squares — throughout the entire World Cup: from June 11 to July 19, 2026. It is the epicenter of World Cup celebration for fans who don't attend matches but want to live the atmosphere.
The Macroplaza features 4K mega-screens, daily concerts from international artists, a gastronomic zone with regional food trucks, FIFA sponsor activations, and free entry with prior registration. Over 50,000 attendees per day are expected, especially during Mexico matches or major team fixtures.
For international fans staying in San Pedro, Valle Oriente, or Carretera Nacional, getting downtown during peak World Cup hours is challenging: road closures on Av. Constitución and Calzada Madero, scarce parking, and saturated Uber/DiDi demand. Executive transport solves the logistics.
