​FIFA Fan Festival Atlanta is extending its hours for the 2026 World Cup semifinal games next week. The semifinals are set to take place in Dallas, Texas on July 14 and in Atlanta on July 15, and the festival will adjust its schedule to give fans more time to celebrate the World Cup and to highlight Atlanta’s status as a host city. Located at Centennial Olympic Park, the festival has already drawn more than 453,000 fans from around the world across more than 16 days of operation.
The extended hours will have the festival open from 1 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., and will feature a special performance by Ludacris, along with other surprise guests who will welcome international supporters ahead of the Atlanta match.
On Wednesday, FIFA Fan Fest will run from noon to 10:30 p.m., with a 6 p.m. closing ceremony that emphasizes Atlanta’s role as a host city following the semifinal game.
General admission tickets for the festival sold out last week. A limited number of additional general admission tickets will be made available for reservation on Friday on a first-come, first-serve basis. These limited GA tickets will allow entry starting at 6 p.m., but entry is not guaranteed. Fans still have the option to purchase GA+ or VIP tickets for both days.
The performance lineups and times for both days will be announced on Monday.
