I still believe… With the taste of defeat still on the tongues of many England fans after the 2024 Euros, it’s understandable why so many of us aren’t super-excited about the FIFA World Cup 2026 (among other legitimate reasons). But I still believe that Tuchel can turn Southgate’s nearly-men into winners this summer!
But unless you’re willing to hand over hundreds or even thousands of dollars to attend the games (taking place in the USA, Mexico and Canada), the best way to watch all the England games is right here in Birmingham. A huge, immersive fan park, 4TheFans, will set up in the Second City this summer.
Tell me more about the World Cup fan park in Birmingham…
Running from June 17, when England kick off against Croatia, 4TheFans will carry England fans through the whole World Cup experience at the O2 Institute Birmingham. Expect huge anti-glare screens, world-class sound systems, exclusive bar and food traders, DJs, competitions, and giveaways in an unrivalled atmosphere.
Each match screening also welcomes a genuine football legend for quality match analysis and banter, plus celebratory special FX such as pyrotechnics and CO2 cannons for when the goals fly in. Birmingham is one of a few key cities hosting 4TheFans Fan Parks, including Bournemouth, Bristol, Leeds, London, and Newcastle.
Tickets start from £6 per person, with balcony tickets from £15. So far, over 5,000 tickets have been sold across all locations from pre-registration, so fans need to grab theirs quickly. The 2026 World Cup will deliver a month of high-octane football, with this fan park the most entertaining, friendly and inclusive way to watch it.
