Looking for the biggest place in Dubai to watch the FIFA World Cup 2026? Emirates Our Home may have just claimed the title. The massive fan festival has officially opened at Dubai Festival City, bringing supporters together for 39 days of non-stop match screenings, entertainment, dining and family activities. Running from June 11 to July 19, the venue operates 24 hours a day, so fans can catch every match no matter the kickoff time.
With many World Cup fixtures playing out across North American time zones, football fans in the UAE face late-night and early-morning kickoffs throughout the tournament. Emirates Our Home was designed to solve exactly that, creating a dedicated football destination where fans watch matches around the clock in a fully air-conditioned setting.
What Is Emirates Our Home?
Emirates Our Home is a FIFA World Cup fan festival located at the Waterfront Area of Dubai Festival City Mall. The venue combines live football screenings with entertainment, food and beverage offerings, family-friendly activities, premium hospitality and dedicated viewing zones.
Unlike a traditional watch party, this is a large-scale fan experience built around the entire tournament. Visitors can choose between family zones, adults-only areas and VIP hospitality sections depending on the experience they want.
The venue stays open 24 hours a day throughout the World Cup, letting fans watch everything from afternoon fixtures to matches kicking off in the early hours of the morning.
Family and Kids Zone
Families looking for a World Cup outing can access the Family and Kids Zone for AED 100 per ticket. Each ticket includes AED 50 redeemable on food and beverages, adding extra value for visitors spending the day at the venue.
The area features soft-play attractions, interactive games and entertainment suited to younger guests. Alcohol is not served in this section, creating a family-focused environment for football fans of all ages.
Adults-Only Zone
Visitors aged 21 and above can access the adults-only section starting from AED 200 per ticket. Each ticket includes AED 100 redeemable on food and beverages, with dedicated viewing areas, premium hospitality, entertainment, alcohol service and shisha offerings.
One important detail for marathon match days: admission runs on four-hour sessions. Fans hoping to watch multiple fixtures back-to-back should plan ahead and secure the right bookings in advance.
VIP Experience
For the highest level of hospitality, VIP tickets are available from AED 400. The VIP experience offers premium viewing areas and upgraded services designed for fans who want a more exclusive match-day atmosphere.
Tickets for all categories are available through Platinumlist, the official ticketing partner for the event.
