FIFA World Cup 2026

The biggest FIFA World Cup in history kicks off on June 11, 2026, and runs all the way through the final on July 19. For the first time, 48 teams and 104 matches will light up screens across North America — and right here in Ballard, Seattle, Ballard Beer Box is turning into the neighborhood's go-to spot to watch every minute of it.

Whether you're cheering for your home country, discovering a new favorite team, or just love the energy of a packed bar during a World Cup match, we've got the screens, the beer, and the pizza to make it unforgettable.

Why Watch FIFA World Cup 2026 at Ballard Beer Box?

Ballard Beer Box has built its name as Ballard's neighborhood taproom — a bright, welcoming bottle shop and pizzeria known for its rotating selection of craft beers, natural wines, and organic-flour, stone-baked pizzas. This World Cup season, that same community-first energy is getting a soccer makeover.

Here's what makes it the right call for match day:

  • Big screens, every match — From the opening group-stage games to knockout rounds, we'll have matches playing throughout the tournament.

  • 100+ craft beers and rotating taps — Pacific Northwest IPAs, lagers, stouts, and seasonal brews to pair with the action.

  • Organic, stone-baked pizzas — Hand-tossed pies made with locally sourced, organic Washington flour, including vegan and vegetarian options.

  • Spacious patio and indoor seating — Room for friend groups, families, and dog owners alike (yes, dogs are welcome).

  • A real neighborhood vibe — No oversized sports-bar chaos, just good food, good drinks, and good company in the heart of Ballard.

What to Expect During Match Screenings

Every World Cup screening at Ballard Beer Box is built around the same idea: great soccer deserves a great atmosphere. Expect:

  • Match-day food and drink specials timed around kickoff

  • A relaxed, social setting that's just as fun for casual fans as it is for diehards

  • Seasonal pizza specials inspired by the tournament's host countries — USA, Canada, and Mexico

  • A central Ballard location at 2446 NW Market St, Seattle, WA 98107, with plenty of street parking nearby

Sample Match Day Lineup

Some of the most anticipated fixtures fans can look forward to catching on screen include early group-stage clashes and the marquee knockout rounds leading up to the Round of 32 (June 30), Round of 16 (July 5), and the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final on July 19. Whether it's an early-morning kickoff or a primetime knockout match, Ballard Beer Box plans to be open and ready with the game on.

Perfect for Group Bookings

Planning to bring your whole supporters' club, office team, or friend group? Ballard Beer Box's patio and pizzeria setup make it easy to host larger groups for World Cup matches. Reach out ahead of big games — especially knockout rounds — to reserve space and pre-order pizzas so your crew doesn't miss kickoff waiting in line.

How to Plan Your Visit

  2. Reserve ahead for big matches — Group stage finales, Round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals, and the final are expected to draw a crowd.
