San Jose is expanding its capacity for public World Cup viewing by adding two new venues for the upcoming matches. Discovery Meadow and the SAP Center have been designated as additional sites for fans to gather and watch the games on Sunday.
The city is preparing for two specific fixtures in the 2026 FIFA World Cup: the match between Mexico and England, followed by the contest between Brazil and Norway. These new locations will accommodate the high demand for public screenings ahead of these international competitions.
This expansion marks a shift in the city's approach to hosting these events. Previously, the primary location for streaming these matches was San Pedro Square Market. For this single day of World Cup action, the organization has relocated the viewing experience to the newly added sites.
The move to Discovery Meadow and the SAP Center suggests an effort to distribute crowds more effectively or provide alternative spaces for attendees. Both venues are now open to the public for the duration of the Sunday matches.
San Jose is located approximately 9 miles northeast of Saratoga.
