U.S. Soccer House Presented by Bank of America to Take Over Venice Beach as the Epicenter of American Fandom During FIFA Men’s World Cup 2026
Free, fan-first destination brings the Men’s World Cup to life through culture, community and immersive experiences from June 11–26
ATLANTA (May 5, 2026) — U.S. Soccer today announced the launch of U.S. Soccer House presented by Bank of America, the official home for all U.S. Soccer fans during the 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup. Located one block from the shores of Venice Beach, U.S. Soccer House will be open June 11–26, offering a free experience for fans of all ages to gather, celebrate and support the United States Men’s National Team (USMNT).
“Fandom is what drives this game forward in this country, and U.S. Soccer House presented by Bank of America is about bringing fans closer to it than ever before,” said David Wright, Chief Commercial Officer at U.S. Soccer. “Whether you’ve followed this team your whole life or are just discovering them this summer, this is a place where you can feel U.S. Soccer is Yours and you can feel connected to the players, to each other, and to the energy of the Men’s World Cup.”
Serving as U.S. Soccer’s hub throughout the group stage of the tournament, U.S. Soccer House is designed to bring the energy of the Men’s World Cup to life at the intersection of sport, culture, and entertainment. At its center is a high-energy viewing and programming space, anchored by a massive screen broadcasting the day’s top matches. The space will feature the U.S. Men’s National Team watch parties, including matchups against top global competition, alongside select matches from other Men’s World Cup groups when the U.S. team is not playing. Fans can also engage with a curated lineup of live programming with special guests, including music, podcast recordings, post-match shows, and speaker sessions. As both a viewing hub and live content stage, the House will host live recordings and real-time storytelling throughout the group stage of the tournament.
“Soccer brings communities together in powerful ways, and our partnership with U.S. Soccer is rooted in a shared commitment to making the game more accessible and creating meaningful experiences,” said David Tyrie, President, Marketing, Digital and Specialized Consumer Client Solutions at Bank of America. “U.S. Soccer House brings the excitement of the Men’s World Cup to life, and as the Official Bank Sponsor, we’re proud to help create a home where fans of all ages can come together and celebrate the power of the sport.”
As part of the core pillar of the Federation's In Service to Soccer strategy, U.S. Soccer House exemplifies the idea that U.S. Soccer Is Yours, a commitment to ensuring that everyone who cares about the game in the United States feels connected to, supported by, and empowered through U.S. Soccer. U.S. Soccer House brings this vision to life as a dedicated space celebrating and honoring the passion and support of its fans.
