Grand Prairie is ready to welcome the world! Throughout the tournament, the Jambox at EpicCentral will host FIFA World Cup 26™ Watch Parties on the big outdoor screen. Whether you’re rooting for your home country, riding the wave of a bracket upset, or just looking for a reason to be outside with your people, this is the place to be. The best part? It’s completely free. Get directions and view the entertainment district map →
The party starts Friday, June 12. Following the Juneteenth Block Party, we’re officially kicking off our Watch Party series at 8 PM with USA vs. Paraguay — and Grand Prairie Mayor Ron Jensen will be on hand to welcome the crowd. Set the tone. Mark your calendar.
From opening weekend through the knockout rounds, EpicCentral will be showing matches throughout the tournament. Here’s the full lineup, plus a few notes before you plan your visit:
The Jambox outdoor stage area at EpicCentral is built for exactly this kind of moment — festival-style, open-air, and electric. Come early for your spot, spread out a blanket or set up a low-profile lawn chair, and settle in. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis (no reserved seating).
The watch parties are just the beginning. EpicCentral is a 172-acre entertainment district packed with things to do before the opening whistle or after the final whistle blows.
EpicCentral has you covered on dining, all on or near the water:
Some cities offer award-winning amenities. Others have great opportunities for business. Or world-class entertainment with colorful traditions. Proudly, Grand Prairie offers all of the above. All coming together – in the right place at the right time – to make this the place people choose again and again. That’s something to be proud of.
The world is playing. Grand Prairie is watching — together.
FIFA World Cup 26™ Watch Parties at the Jambox at EpicCentral. Free admission. Runs throughout the tournament.
