Watching the 2026 FIFA World Cup on the Sunshine Coast
Following the 2026 FIFA World Cup from the Sunshine Coast — the morning kick-offs, and the best breweries and pubs to gather.
By Sunshine Coast Spots · 1 July 2026
With the 2026 FIFA World Cup co-hosted across the United States, Canada and Mexico, Sunshine Coast fans get an early start — many matches kick off in the Sunshine Coast morning. In a region built for the outdoors, that suits a brewery-and-breakfast rhythm nicely.
The Coast has become a genuine craft-beer destination, and between its breweries, beach taverns and bars there's no shortage of relaxed, atmospheric spots to gather. A morning knockout match is the ideal excuse to round up mates.
Fixtures and kick-off times move through the group and knockout stages, so always check the official FIFA match schedule before you head out.
