Five marquee World Cup matches to stream on 200 LinkNYC kiosks citywide from June 19 through July 19
Twenty LinkNYC kiosks will feature official City World Cup branding during the tournament
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani today announced that New Yorkers and visitors will be able to follow five FIFA World Cup matches on 200 LinkNYC kiosks across the five boroughs between June 19 and July 19 as part of a free Summer Friday viewing series celebrating New York City’s role as a host city, as well as the World Cup Final on Sunday, July 19.
In partnership with Telemundo, the viewing series will bring the world’s biggest sporting event directly to neighborhoods across the city, transforming everyday public spaces into gathering places where New Yorkers can experience the excitement of the World Cup together.
“New York is a city of sidewalks as much as it is stadiums, and this summer the World Cup belongs to both,” said Mayor Mamdani. “You shouldn’t need a ticket to MetLife to feel connected to the world’s game. Whether you’re heading home from work, meeting friends or just walking to the bodega, you’ll have a chance to stop, watch and share in a moment that brings incredible soccer moments directly to you.”
“This is a massive community partnership. It expands Telemundo public viewing access for World Cup matches — into every borough of our city. We were thrilled to work with LinkNYC, Telemundo Network and the City to bring this once-in-a-lifetime moment directly to the viewers and the neighborhoods we serve,” said Eric Lerner, President and General Manager of Telemundo 47 and NBC 4 New York.
“The FIFA World Cup is more than a sporting event — it’s a cultural moment that brings people together across communities, generations, and backgrounds,” said Claudia Chagui, Executive Vice President, Marketing, NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises. “As the exclusive Spanish-language home of the tournament, we’re excited to partner with the City of New York and LinkNYC to bring the World Cup directly into neighborhoods across the city and create new ways for fans to connect with the matches and each other.”
The public viewing series will feature five marquee matches spanning the group stage through the tournament final:
- Friday, June 19, 3 p.m. – United States vs. Australia
- Friday, June 26, 3 p.m. – Norway vs. France
- Friday, July 3, 2 p.m. – Round of 32 Match
- Friday, July 10, 3 p.m. – Quarterfinal Match
- Sunday, July 19, 3 p.m. – FIFA World Cup Final
As part of the activation, 20 LinkNYC kiosks across the five boroughs will feature official City World Cup branding, joining ferries, sanitation vehicles, subway cars and other public assets celebrating New York City’s role as a host city.
