Good news for soccer fans in the New York and New Jersey area: the NYNJ World Cup 26 Jersey Fan Hub at Sports Illustrated Stadium — home of the New York Red Bulls — will offer free admission for all guests during the FIFA World Cup 2026.
The free ticketing initiative was jointly announced by the FIFA World Cup 2026 NYNJ Host Committee, New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill, New York Governor Kathy Hochul, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and Red Bull New York. The goal is to make the World Cup experience accessible to every soccer fan, resident, and visitor in the region.
What to Expect at the Jersey Fan Hub
The Jersey Fan Hub will transform Sports Illustrated Stadium into a massive watch party venue, featuring a state-of-the-art 60-foot screen placed directly on the pitch. Fans will watch live World Cup matches from the stadium floor, surrounded by the authentic atmosphere of one of America’s premier soccer-specific venues.
The Fan Hub will be open for eight dates during the Group Stage (June 14–26) and eight dates during the Knockout rounds (July 1–15). Activities include real-time match broadcasts, live entertainment, interactive fan activations, and sponsorship integrations as part of the Red Bull Soccer Celebrations.
