Dubai’s First Official FIFA World Cup Fanzone
This is the first time Dubai has held an official FIFA fanzone designation for a World Cup. McGettigan’s, one of the UAE’s most established sports bar brands, is operating the fanzone. The main Dubai venue is Bla Bla by McGettigan’s, with a second location running at Reem Mall in Abu Dhabi for the duration of the tournament.
Big screens, live entertainment, and brand activations are confirmed for major match days. The venue is not cherry-picking fixtures. Every game is on, from the group-stage openers to the knockout rounds.

The Official England Supporters Club Hub
Bla Bla by McGettigan’s is also the official hub for the England Supporters Club during the 2026 World Cup. England fixtures here are going to be some of the biggest nights of the tournament. Fans get big-screen viewings, live entertainment, and dedicated brand activations tied specifically to England match days.

All 104 Matches, Every Kick-Off Time
The FIFA World Cup 2026 is co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, which puts a wide spread of kick-off times on the UAE clock. Some fixtures land in the early morning. Others run deep into the night. None of them are missing from the fanzone schedule.
Food and drink menus are timed to match kick-offs. Early games come with breakfast service. Late-night fixtures get late-night bites. The kitchen and bar run on the tournament clock, not standard venue hours. The tournament goes from June 11 to July 19, with the final at 11pm GST.
Tickets, Pricing, and What You Get
Group-stage tickets are on sale now at AED 60 per person. That amount is fully redeemable on food and drinks at the venue. It works as spending credit at the bar and kitchen, not a cover charge you lose at the door.
For knockout rounds and high-profile match days, tickets will go quickly. The FIFA World Cup 2026 fanzone in Dubai is the only officially designated FIFA fanzone in the city. Capacity on big match days will be limited, and the England fixtures especially are going to sell out.
The Abu Dhabi option at Reem Mall gives fans a second venue if the Dubai location is at capacity for a specific game.
What to Expect on Match Days
- Big screens for all 104 games
- Live entertainment on major match days
- Brand activations throughout the six-week tournament
- England Supporters Club hub for all England fixtures
