Overview
- Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani announced the program that runs from June 19 to July 19 and will show five curated matches on 200 LinkNYC kiosks across all five boroughs.
- The public schedule includes Norway vs. France on June 26, a round-of-16 match on July 3, a quarterfinal on July 10, and the World Cup final on July 19.
- Telemundo is the media partner supplying broadcast rights and technical support, and local NBC/Telemundo executives have promoted the effort as expanding public access to the tournament.
- Twenty LinkNYC kiosks will display official City World Cup imagery and the city has rolled out additional promotions on ferries, municipal vehicles and subway cars to create visible neighborhood hubs.
- The plan aims to offer a free alternative for residents who cannot attend matches at MetLife Stadium and to use LinkNYC’s screen and connectivity features as civic gathering points while the state separately opened registration for a large public final viewing in Westchester.
