Staten Island is getting its own official slice of World Cup 26, with SIUH Community Park set to host a NYNJ fan zone from June 29 through July 2. The four-day run will feature free daytime programming and evening screenings of tournament matches, with family-friendly activities, local vendors and big-screen broadcasts lining up with the World Cup schedule. It is part of a citywide lineup of free fan events bringing matchday buzz to every borough.
The MTA has already slipped into game-planning mode. On June 11, the agency posted travel guidance for matchgoers, urging riders to “take the SIR to St. George” and suggesting they download transit apps for live updates. Per a post by MTA, the agency also shared routing tips for other borough fan zones in reply threads.

What to Expect at SIUH Community Park
According to NYNJ Host Committee, the Staten Island fan zone is designed as a laid-back, family-oriented stop on the World Cup circuit. Daytime hours are set to focus on cultural programming, while evenings will be reserved for match screenings on big screens. Organizers describe the park as a space where community groups and local vendors can showcase food and performances alongside live broadcasts.
More detailed schedules and nightly viewing plans will be posted by the host committee as the dates approach, so expect a rolling reveal instead of a full game plan all at once.
Getting There
SIUH Community Park sits a short walk from the St. George ferry terminal and Empire Outlets, so fans coming from Manhattan can hop on the free Staten Island Ferry and walk to the site. Transit listings place the venue at 75 Richmond Terrace and show walking routes from both the ferry and the Staten Island Railway stop, per Moovit.
The MTA’s social post also reminded riders to use the Staten Island Railway to reach St. George and to check agency apps for service alerts, a hint that crowds and timing could matter as match screenings line up with peak hours.
Part of a Five-Borough Lineup
The Staten Island fan zone is one piece of a broader city strategy to spread World Cup energy far beyond the stadiums. Brooklyn Bridge Park is scheduled to host select dates from June 13 to July 19, and Rockefeller Center will run July 6 to 19, while other borough activations open earlier in the month, as outlined by Mayor’s Office. City and state officials say the free fan zones are meant to channel matchday excitement into neighborhoods that will not host stadium games.
Fans heading to SIUH Community Park are advised to plan for evening breezes and crowds during prime match hours, arrive early for vendors and seating, and check programming updates before they go. Organizers say detailed nightly schedules and participant lists will appear on the NYNJ Host Committee fan-events page as the dates near. For transit updates and service alerts, riders are encouraged to rely on local transit apps and official agency channels.
