As part of American Dream’s 39-day Dream Fan Fest, celebrating the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the mall will be hosting a viewing party for the United State’s round of 16 match against Belgium. The game is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m., though the event kicks off at 1 p.m., with entertainment for fans to enjoy before the match begins.
Dream Fan Fest has already brought several local sports teams to American Dream, including the New York Jets, New York Giants and New York Liberty. Now adding to that list is the New York Mets, who will be a part of the day’s event. The team’s vibrant mascots, Mr. and Mrs. Met, will be in attendance, as well as giveaways and activities to keep guests entertained.
The watch party is sure to be full of excitement and anticipation, with this being one of the biggest matches for USA’s soccer team in recent memory, with a spot in the quarterfinals on the line. The United States last reached the quarterfinals in 2002 and was the only time that the team has done so, as the last time the team made it that far was in 1930, that round did not exist.
With such high-stakes, the match is sure to bring the entertainment and keep guests on the edge of their seats. The United States is looking to make history at the tournament and American Dream offers the perfect environment to watch the match and enjoy the other activities that the venue has to offer.
