The MetroWest Boston Visitors Bureau, in partnership with the City of Marlborough and the Town of Franklin, today released additional details for its MetroWest Regional Fan Zone initiative celebrating the 2026 FIFA World Cup™, including event schedules, featured activities, entertainment programming, sponsors, and ticketing information.
Free tickets are now available for both Fan Zone locations at MetroWestVisitors.org/world-cup. While admission is free, advance ticket registration is required for all attendees.
“From live match broadcasts and music to interactive games, food trucks, and family activities, these Fan Zones are designed to create an unforgettable festival atmosphere for residents and visitors alike,” said Stacey David, Executive Director of the MetroWest Boston Visitors Bureau. “This is about more than watching soccer—it’s about bringing communities together, celebrating the international spirit of the tournament, and showcasing MetroWest as a welcoming destination during one of the world’s biggest sporting events.”
