Green Bay-area soccer fans can join one of two watch parties to cheer on the USA during tonight’s crucial, controversial World Cup elimination match versus Belgium.
The USA and Belgium kick off at 7 p.m. today in a World Cup round of 16 elimination match in Seattle. The winner will earn a spot in the World Cup quarterfinals, where they will face the winner of today’s match between Spain and Portugal at 2 p.m.
The Green Bay Packers will host another outdoor watch party at the base of Ariens Hill in the Titletown District with activities set to begin at 5 p.m. this evening. And Casuals Soccer Pub, Green Bay’s only soccer bar, and the American Outlaws Green Bay chapter will host a watch party at the bar on Main Street.
The USA’s strong performance through the group stage and round of 32 has helped build interest, energy and excitement in the team’s performance in the 2026 tournament.
Attention around tonight’s match has increased since FIFA on Sunday controversially chose to allow USA striker Folarin Balogun to play, in spite of a suspension for a red card. Belgium has been allowed to appeal the decision.
Here’s what to know and where to go for tonight’s big game.
Titletown outdoor watch party
Titletown’s watch party opens to the public at 5 p.m. today with plans to show the game on a giant screen at the base of Ariens Hill.
The event features live music by local favorites The Glam Band, sign-making station, a postcard making station, giant games and food and beverages for sale. Fans will be able to set up lawn chairs in a designated area at the base of Ariens Hill.
Parking is free in the Titletown lots. Outside food and beverages are not permitted in Titletown. Pets are permitted provided they remain leashed and stay only on the paved areas, not the Ariens Hill grass.
