Casa México Los Ángeles 2026, the official hospitality venue of the Government of Mexico during the World Cup, will host live viewing parties for the first three matches of the Mexican National Football Team, two Family Days and a salsa concert series, among other activities.

Casa México Los Ángeles 2026 is based at LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes in downtown Los Angeles and 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 will take place 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 be a gathering space to proudly celebrate our roots, support the Mexican National Team, and share the cultural richness of our country with all communities in Southern California. We want every visitor to feel at home and experience a true celebration of unity,” shared the Consul General of Mexico in Los Angeles, Carlos González Gutiérrez.

In addition to screening the matches, Casa México will host two Family Days. The first of these community events will take place on Sunday, June 28, and the second on Saturday, July 11. The latter will feature performances by three youth mariachi bands. The Family Days—part of LA Plaza’s signature programming—will offer activities, workshops, and entertainment for all ages. Likewise, attendees will be able to enjoy music and the presence of various states of Mexico, showcasing their culture, cuisine, 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,” said Tracy Serrano, LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes' Interim CEO. “We are excited to offer a welcoming and inclusive space for all to gather and celebrate.”

As part of the Casa México Los Ángeles 2026 agenda, the live concert Summer of Salsa—featuring La Verdad, accompanied by Super DJ Robby—will also take place on Friday, July 10.

Attendees at Casa México will be able to visit, throughout the five weeks of the World Cup, the installation by renowned artist Betsabeé Romero, “Tejiendo Redes,” which features a sculptural goal woven with the participation of the community. This binational proposal integrates representations of pre-Hispanic ballgame players and contemporary soccer athletes.
