Casa México Los Angeles 2026 will turn downtown LA into a major gathering place for Mexican fans during the World Cup, with live match screenings, family festivals, music, and cultural events. The program highlights the power of Latino community pride in Southern California.
Casa México Los Ángeles 2026, the official hospitality venue for the Government of Mexico during the World Cup, will broadcast live the first three matches of the Mexican National Soccer Team and will host two family festivals and a salsa concert, among other activities. These plans were announced as the venue unveiled the details of the programming it will offer during the World Cup’s duration of just over five weeks.
Based at LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes in downtown Los Angeles, Casa México Los Ángeles 2026 will kick off its activities on June 11 with a live broadcast shown on a giant screen of the Mexican National Team’s opening match against South Africa, which is being held in Mexico City.
Subsequently, it will screen the matches on June 18 against South Korea and on June 24 against the Czech Republic. Depending on the Mexican National Team’s performance in the tournament, Casa México will announce additional screenings or other cultural activities.
“Casa México Los Ángeles 2026 will serve as a gathering place to proudly celebrate our roots, support the Mexican National Team, and share the cultural richness of our country with all communities across Southern California. We want every visitor to feel at home and experience a true celebration of unity,” shared Carlos González Gutiérrez, the Consul General of Mexico in Los Angeles.
In addition to the match screenings, Casa México will host two family festivals. The first of these community events will take place on Sunday, June 28, and the second on Saturday, July 11. The latter event will feature performances by three youth mariachi bands. These “Family Days,” part of LA Plaza’s signature programming, will offer activities, workshops, and entertainment for all ages. Furthermore, attendees will be able to enjoy live music and visit exhibits representing various states of the Mexican Republic, each promoting its unique culture, gastronomy, and tourism offerings.
“LA Plaza, an institution dedicated to sharing the diverse stories of Mexicans, Mexican Americans, and Latinos in Los Angeles, is honored to become Casa México during the World Cup,” stated Tracy Serrano, Interim Executive Director of LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes. “We are thrilled to offer a welcoming and inclusive space for everyone to gather and celebrate.”
As part of the Casa México Los Ángeles 2026 lineup, the live concert Verano de Salsa featuring La Verdad, accompanied by Super DJ Robby, will also take place on Friday, July 10.
Throughout the five weeks of the World Cup, visitors to Casa México will be able to view Tejiendo Redes (“Weaving Networks”), an installation by renowned artist Betsabeé Romero. This piece consists of a sculptural goalpost woven with the participation of the community. This binational work integrates depictions of pre-Hispanic ballplayers and contemporary soccer players.
