For football fans in the US, the mere mention of the 2026 FIFA World Cup games is enough to drive everyone into a frenzy. You can feel excitement in the air, and rightfully so because being host to the World Cup was a long time coming, shares MTI Limo and Shuttle Services ; the premier provider of luxury transportation and shuttle services in Atlanta.

This early on, tickets to the games are already selling fast. If you weren't able to get tickets as the games approach, don't fret; there is another fun and just as exciting way to watch: by hosting a watch party. Invite friends, family, colleagues and anyone else whom you feel would enjoy it.

Watch party essentials

To have the best watch party your guests have ever experienced, you need to have the basics covered first. Here are the essential musts:

Venue

It may "only" be a watch party, but this is the World Cup, and your venue can affect the general mood and outcome of the party so pick a good venue. If it's just a small group of friends, one's living room, den, or backyard might be enough, but if you're inviting the entire neighborhood, then you will need a bigger space.

Ask friends or family for recommendations. Get the inputs of some of the people you'll be inviting. If you're hosting at home, make sure to move the furniture around to make room for your guests. Remember, they won't be sitting quietly down while watching the game. Expect a lot of jumping and screaming; basically, expect a rowdy crowd.

Strong internet connection

The World Cup will be streamed live on FIFA's official platforms as well as other streamlining sites. This means that you will have to rely on the internet for the entirety of the game. The last thing you want is to be disconnected, so apart from ensuring you have a stable internet connection, it would wise too, to have a backup service.

Food

What's a watch party without food? You can elevate the food choices to a few gourmet options, if you want, but bleacher staples like hotdogs, burgers, pizza, and buffalo wings are a must! Beer and soda must also be your top beverage choices.

Décor

Give the room a temporary makeover; turn it into a dugout or a goal area. Hang football paraphernalia on the wall. Use football-themed party plates and cups. Be as creative as you want.

And if you have friends or family flying to Atlanta for the games scheduled at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, arrange for an airport pickup for their convenience.
