Quick answer
The 2026 World Cup opening match is played on 11 June 2026 at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. In Morocco (GMT+1) it is an evening watch: kick off the tournament in a lively café, a sports bar or in front of a big screen. It is the start of a month of football — the buzz is already there.
Kicking off the tournament
The opening match sets the tone for the tournament. Even without Morocco on the pitch that night, cafés and sports bars fill with fans coming to launch a month of football. It is the ideal chance to scout your favourite venue before the big games.
