San Jose is set to become the ultimate destination for soccer enthusiasts this summer, hosting massive viewing parties for every matchday of the highly anticipated UEFA EURO 2024 and Copa América 2024 tournaments. This exciting announcement, a collaboration between the San Jose Earthquakes, the City of San José, and the San Jose Sports Authority, ensures that fans won’t miss a single moment of the beautiful game.
With Northern California currently experiencing a soccer boom, highlighted by the presence of the Earthquakes and Bay FC, and with San Jose poised to welcome both Copa América and the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the city is solidifying its status as a soccer epicenter. For fans eager for Euro 2024 News and action, San Jose is the place to be.
The UEFA EURO 2024 tournament kicks off on Friday, June 14, while Copa América 2024 begins on Thursday, June 20. Both prestigious tournaments will culminate in thrilling finals on Sunday, July 14.

For select marquee matchups, the viewing experience will be amplified into a full-fledged festival atmosphere at San Pedro Square. An enormous outdoor screen and sound system will transform N. San Pedro Street into a vibrant hub for soccer fans. Conveniently located near the VTA Santa Clara light rail station and offering easy access to five Downtown parking garages with 90 minutes of free parking (real-time availability on parksj.org), San Pedro Square is easily accessible for everyone.
