The biggest World Cup in history is here — and you don’t have to fly to a host city to feel it. The 2026 FIFA World Cup runs June 11 through July 19, with 48 teams and 104 matches spread across the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Miami is the closest host city, but the energy belongs to all of Florida. If you’re looking for a World Cup watch party in Orlando with sound, lights, and a crowd that actually cares who wins, you’ll find your people in the heart of downtown.
At Anthem, 100 N Orange Ave, the match doesn’t end at the final whistle — that’s just when the night gets loud.
A World Cup crowd that already speaks the language
Orlando is one of the most international cities in the South, and Anthem reflects it. Our dance floor runs on Latin energy seven nights a week, from Latin Night Salsa on Thursdays to Perreo Central, our late-night Latin drag show. When Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Brazil, or the USMNT take the pitch, you’re watching with a room that knows every chant.
This isn’t a quiet sports-bar corner. It’s the full Anthem experience: big sound, a proud LGBTQ+ crowd, and the kind of celebration that spills onto Orange Avenue.
What to expect at Anthem during the World Cup
- Downtown’s most welcoming watch crowd — all teams, all fans, all flags. Wear your colors.
- Happy Hour Monday through Friday, 3–7 PM — 25% off your full check plus a $12 Happy Hour menu, perfect for afternoon kickoffs.
- The party doesn’t stop at full time — DJs and drag keep the celebration going long after the match.
Plan your match day downtown
Anthem sits right in the middle of Downtown Orlando’s nightlife, so you can make a full day of it — lunch and a match during Happy Hour, then straight into the night. We’re 21+ and open seven nights a week, so whether it’s a group-stage afternoon or a knockout-round nail-biter, there’s a seat (and a shot) with your name on it.
Knockout rounds run deep into July, with the final on July 19. Don’t watch the tournament of a lifetime alone on your couch.
Catch every match where the night is loud
The 2026 World Cup only happens here once. Come watch it with the community that turns a goal into a full-blown celebration. Check this week’s events for match-day details, plan around Happy Hour, and bring your flag.
