Football supporters in Dubai will have an air-conditioned indoor venue to follow the entire FIFA World Cup 2026, with DXB LIVE converting Halls 2 and 3 of the Dubai World Trade Centre into a large-scale screening destination for the duration of the tournament.
Branded the DWTC Fanzone, the setup can accommodate as many as 2,000 spectators for each fixture, positioning it among the bigger indoor viewing sites in the emirate. Every one of the 104 matches will be shown live, beginning with the tournament opener and continuing through to the championship decider.
Organisers are pitching the venue as a family-oriented option that sits apart from the usual sports-bar experience. Climate-controlled and open to all age groups, it is intended for supporters cheering on their countries, friends arranging a match-day gathering, or parents bringing children along.
Programming extends past the screenings themselves. Visitors can expect oversized display screens, football skills stations, interactive games, entertainment aimed at families, brand activations and hospitality packages. Catering will run throughout the competition, and early kick-offs will be paired with breakfast service so that commuters can take in a match before the work day starts.
Getting to the site is part of the pitch as well. The Dubai World Trade Centre sits at a well-linked point in the city and provides free parking. Guests using the code DWTCFZ26 can also claim 15 percent off Uber and Careem journeys to and from the venue between 11 June and 19 July 2026, with the discount limited to AED 15 each way and a ceiling of two trips per person.
The fanzone opens on 11 June and runs until 19 July 2026, spanning the full 39 days of competition. Organisers frame the project as a response to Dubai’s mix of more than 200 nationalities, casting the World Cup as an occasion built around collective celebration rather than the results on the field alone.
