Where To Watch The FIFA World Cup Semifinals In Tucson

TUCSON, AZ — The world's biggest soccer tournament has taken over North America, and Tucson fans don't have to travel far to catch the action.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup runs through July 19 and, for the first time, features 48 teams competing across the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Spain punched its ticket to Sunday's World Cup final Tuesday, defeating France 2-0 in the tournament's first semifinal. Now the spotlight shifts to Wednesday's second semifinal, with Argentina taking on England for the right to face Spain in the championship match at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

If you're looking for a place to watch, downtown Tucson businesses are rolling out watch parties, with a local event guide highlighting six spots where fans can catch the action.
