The 2026 FIFA World Cup is just around the corner, and Munich is gearing up with numerous venues ready to broadcast the matches live. From June 12 to 14, the opening weekend, fans can catch the first group stage games at various beer gardens, bars, and cultural centers.
Although there will be no official fan festival in the Olympic Park this year, many Munich establishments have already announced public viewing offerings. The time difference to the host countries Canada, Mexico, and the United States means many matches will kick off late at night. Still, the anticipation for the games remains high.
The match between Germany and Curaçao on Sunday is particularly drawing interest. The Königliche Hirschgarten, known for its cozy atmosphere, will show selected games and offers beer starting at €4.40. Seehaus in the English Garden will also present some World Cup matches on large screens.
For fans who want to reserve a spot, the Bamberger Haus in Luitpoldpark offers that option. At the Michaeligarten in Ostpark, matches kicking off at 9 p.m. will be broadcast live, with the exception of Germany games, which start at 10 p.m.
The city is buzzing with World Cup excitement, and Munich residents are ready to support their teams, even if the kick-off times are challenging. A detailed overview of all public viewing spots in Munich is available to ensure no fan misses a game.
