Birmingham to host Europe's biggest World Cup fan zone if England reach quarter-finals
Birmingham to host Europe's biggest World Cup fan zone

Birmingham's Utilita Arena is set to transform into Europe's largest World Cup fan zone, accommodating up to 10,000 supporters, but only if England triumph over Mexico in the Round of 16 match on Monday, July 6, 2026. The fan zone will feature live coverage on big screens straight from Miami, where the quarter-final will be played.

Event organisers and legacy

4TheFans, the brand behind the successful Villa Park fan zone during Aston Villa's Europa League final victory against SC Freiburg, is organising the event. The company promises appearances from England football legends, match analysis, banter, DJs, and special effects to celebrate every goal.

Ticket details and guarantees

Tickets are already on sale from just £7.50, which includes a free beer and a money-back guarantee if England fail to progress past Mexico. Premium tickets, offering seats with tables on the arena floor, are available from £26. The quarter-final match kicks off at 10pm, a more fan-friendly time compared to the 1am start of the Round of 16 game.
