Legoland parks worldwide debut FIFA World Cup 2026 Experience this summer
Summer 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most eventful travel seasons in recent memory, as two major global milestones converge: America’s 250th anniversary celebration and the FIFA World Cup 2026, with matches hosted across the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Adding to that excitement, Legoland Resorts around the world are joining the celebration with the debut of the new FIFA World Cup 2026 Experience, a limited-time family event arriving this summer at multiple Legoland destinations.
Participating resorts include:
- Legoland California Resort
- Legoland New York Resort
- Legoland Florida Resort
- Legoland Deutschland Resort
- Legoland Windsor Resort
With Miami hosting FIFA World Cup 2026 matches, the new experience at Legoland Florida Resort could be an easy addition to a Florida summer vacation for visitors planning to sightsee around Central Florida, while New York City and Los Angeles host-city travelers can also pair their trips with full-day visits to Legoland New York Resort and Legoland California Resort. Each destination is not nearby, but if you’re a visitor with enough time for a wide-ranging trip, it’s worth considering.

Running from June 11 through July 19, 2026, the event transforms participating parks into soccer-themed fan zones with LEGO-inspired activities, games and photo opportunities timed to the start of the FIFA World Cup.
Bonus: LEGO Festival will be returning to Legoland parks this summer too. Stay tuned for dates.
FIFA® World Cup 2026 Experience: the basics
Essentially, this Legoland event gives families a way to join the World Cup excitement even outside host stadium cities.
As a mom who has visited Legoland Florida multiple times a year for the past six years of my son’s life, I can assure you that Legoland does a great job when putting together special events and seasonal offerings. Their Halloween and Christmas events are among our family’s favorite traditions.
Just like Legoland’s other seasonal events, the FIFA World Cup 2026 Experience at Legoland is included in regular admission.

The build stations are usually similar to the build stations at the ‘LEGO® Ferrari Build & Race’ attraction found at Legoland Florida, California, New York and Windsor.
Additional offerings include photo opportunities with LEGO brick football legends, a chance to build a custom team kit and add it to the Heroes of Play Wall, and a trophy moment where you can pose with the LEGO FIFA World Cup Trophy.

This event is offered during regular theme park hours, so you’ll be able to enjoy all the regularly opened attractions, no matter which Legoland theme park is nearest you.

Mega-sporting events can feel adult-focused: tickets, crowds, broadcast schedules and more logistics to juggle. This family-friendly event blends sports-themed play, creativity and family-friendly competition during the summer tournament season.
