“As we prepare to welcome the world to this generational event, it’s critical that New Jersey communities are at the center of the experience,” said Tammy Murphy, New York New Jersey Host Committee Board Chair. “The Jersey Fan Hub will create an accessible and exciting space for residents and visitors alike to come together, celebrate the global game, and experience the pride, diversity, and spirit that define our region.”
The NYNJ World Cup 26 Jersey Fan Hub will give fans the experience of watching matches on the stadium floor and feature a 60’ screen on the pitch. Hype House, opened in April 2026, will serve as a rallying point for fans with 20 large screen TVs, a 360-degree bar, and a built-in stage for musical performances and appearances. Fans will also be able to explore brand activations from NYNJ Host City Supporters, including Bristol Myers Squibb, Hackensack Meridian Health, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, and PSEG.
“Today’s announcement is about creating places where fans can come together and experience the energy of the World Cup beyond the stadium,” said Alex Lasry, CEO of the New York New Jersey Host Committee. “This venue is already a central destination for sports and live entertainment in the region, making it a natural fit for the kind of dynamic, community-driven experience we’re building. The Jersey Fan Hub will bring that energy to life—connecting fans through the game in a way that’s accessible, authentic, and distinctly New York and New Jersey.”
