Salzburg will be all about football in the summer of 2026: Together with the City of Salzburg, FC Red Bull Salzburg is hosting a big public viewing event for the 2026 FIFA World Cup at the Red Bull Arena, and making a statement for the entire region!

Argentina vs. Austria

When the Austrian national team faces reigning World Cup Winners Argentina on the second matchday of the World Cup group stage, World Cup fever will have truly arrived in Salzburg. Together with the City of Salzburg, we are inviting all fans to the Red Bull Arena to experience this big match together at the public viewing event.

Two large LED screens will be set up next to the pitch, while the entire west stand will be used as a viewing area – a unique setting that will create an extraordinary atmosphere for the evening.

The Red Bull Arena opens at 17:00 and can accommodate up to 2,500 visitors. Kick-off is at 19:00 CEST, and the match will be broadcast live on ServusTV and ServusTV On.

We can also offer ideal travel arrangements for getting to the stadium: our stadium offers ample parking, excellent public transport connections, and plenty of bicycle parking right on site.

Together for Salzburg: Club and city united

This public viewing event is an official City of Salzburg event, organized in partnership with FC Red Bull Salzburg.

Our club is not only the host but is also handling the complete organisation of the event, therefore creating the foundation for a high-quality experience and underscoring its role as a responsible partner for the city and its residents.

An offer for everyone in Salzburg

The focus is clearly on community. The goal is to enable as many people as possible to participate in this major sporting event and create a shared experience.

Views

A huge thank you goes to FC Red Bull Salzburg, who made this public viewing possible by providing the Red Bull Arena, handling the organisational aspects, and offering significant financial support. The excellent collaboration with the club surrounding the UEFA Super Cup continues with this public viewing event, which we have jointly organised. This gives the people of Salzburg the opportunity to experience this big World Cup match against the reigning champions, Argentina. Initiatives like this strengthen community spirit in our city and make international sporting moments accessible to everyone.

Bernhard Auinger, Mayor of Salzburg

The City of Salzburg approached us with the idea of a public viewing event – and we had already been considering similar options. It was therefore quickly clear to us that we wanted to implement this project together. In our view, when Austria plays in a World Cup, it is essential to create a suitable place in Salzburg where people can come together, share emotions, and create lasting memories.
