Green Bay Fans Gear Up for USA‑Belgium World Cup Clash

The 2026 World Cup is in full swing, and Green Bay‑area soccer enthusiasts have two lively watch parties ready for tonight’s knockout match between the United States and Belgium. The U.S. earned a spot in the round of 16 after a strong group stage run, and the team is buoyed by the return of striker Folarin Balogun despite a recent suspension controversy.

The USA takes on Belgium at 7 p.m. Seattle time in a winner‑takes‑all showdown. The victor advances to the quarterfinals, where they will face the winner of today’s Spain‑Portugal clash scheduled for 2 p.m. local time. Both matches will be broadcast on U.S. networks, with Fox 11 carrying the English broadcast and Telemundo (channel 31.6) handling the Spanish feed.

Titletown’s Outdoor Watch Party

Fans can head to the Titletown District at 5 p.m. for an outdoor watch party at the base of Ariens Hill. The event features live music from The Glam Band, sign‑making and postcard stations, giant games, and on‑site food and beverage vendors. Lawn chairs are provided in a designated area, and parking is complimentary in the Titletown lots.

Policies include a no‑outside‑food rule, but pets are allowed on the paved sections while remaining leashed. The location is family‑friendly, with clear guidelines to keep the space tidy for future events. Titletown also announced plans to host a World Cup final watch party on July 19, extending the soccer celebration through the tournament’s later stages.

Casuals Soccer Pub & American Outlaws Watch Party

Green Bay’s only dedicated soccer bar, Casuals Soccer Pub, joins forces with the local chapter of the American Outlaws—the largest U.S. supporters group—to present a second viewing location. The party begins at 5 p.m., and Bistro Bites Food Truck will roll into the back parking lot offering quick bites.

In addition to the big screen broadcast, the event hosts free door‑prize drawings at halftime and after the final whistle. Fans can mingle, chant, and enjoy a tailgating atmosphere just steps from Main Street. The American Outlaws chapter emphasizes community engagement, often partnering with local nonprofits during World Cup weeks.

Staying Home? Here’s How to Watch

If you prefer the comfort of home, Fox 11 kicks off pre‑game coverage at 5 p.m., with the U.S.‑Belgium match streaming live at 7 p.m. Spanish‑language viewers can tune into Telemundo channel 31.6, whose pregame show starts at 6 p.m.

The USA’s appearance in this knockout round follows a solid performance through the group stage and a convincing win in the round of 32, generating heightened optimism among American fans. Balogun’s reinstatement, after a controversial red‑card reversal and a Belgium appeal, adds extra storyline tension to the night’s fixtures.
