Headed to the World Cup? Langan’s Times Square Is Where Matchday Starts

The FIFA World Cup 2026 is set to be one of the biggest moments in New York City history. From June through July 2026, the city will be buzzing with fans from every corner of the globe as the world’s game takes over the streets, bars, and stadiums of NYC and New Jersey. With multiple matches hosted just across the river at MetLife Stadium, New York becomes the ultimate base camp for World Cup supporters.

Located right in the heart of Times Square, Langan's is perfectly positioned to be part of every matchday plan. Sitting just steps from Port Authority Bus Terminal, Langan’s offers an easy, seamless stop before heading to New Jersey for kickoff. Many matchday buses and transfers to MetLife depart from Port Authority, making Langan’s a natural meeting point for fans fueling up before the journey.

World Cup days start early and end late, and Langan’s delivers the kind of atmosphere fans are looking for. Big screens, a lively crowd, and a bar that knows how to handle high-energy matchdays make it an ideal place to catch pre-game coverage, early kickoffs, or matches you can’t attend in person. Whether you’re wearing your national team’s colors or just following the tournament buzz, the room fills with the kind of shared excitement that only the World Cup brings.

The location also makes Langan’s just as appealing after the final whistle. If you’re heading back into Manhattan from MetLife Stadium, Times Square is one of the first major stops, and Langan’s is ready for post-match drinks, late bites, and replay debates. Wins, losses, shock upsets—this is where fans relive every moment together.

Beyond convenience, Langan’s fits perfectly into the World Cup rhythm of NYC. The tournament isn’t just about the 90 minutes on the pitch; it’s about the build-up, the travel, the crowds, and the shared experience of watching the world come together in one city. Being right in Times Square places Langan’s at the center of that energy, surrounded by visiting supporters, local fans, and nonstop global excitement.

As New York prepares to welcome the world for World Cup 2026, Langan’s stands out as an essential stop on any fan’s itinerary—whether you’re watching every match from the bar, heading to MetLife Stadium via Port Authority, or celebrating long after the final whistle. In a city that never slows down, this is where matchday momentum begins and ends.
