England World Cup semi-final to be shown on giant screen in Leeds as Millennium Square fan zone announced
There will be a giant screen, food and a DJ ⚽
England are through to the World Cup semi-final after their victory against Norway last night.
Jude Bellingham kept his cool in the Miami heat and humidity as Thomas Tuchel’s men edged past Norway 2-1 in extra time - and there were jubilant celebrations in Leeds.
Fans will have the chance to cheer on England’s heroes on Millennium Square, as the World Cup 2026 Fanzone makes a return.
Leeds City Council has confirmed that Millennium Square will host a World Cup 2026 Fanzone for the last four epic on Wednesday (July 15).
Supporters will have the chance to cheer on Thomas Tuchel and the team with all the action shown live on a high-definition giant LED screen with concert-style sound, within an outdoor arena.
Entry is strictly by advance ticket only and is a standing-only event. Gates open at 6pm, with a live DJ and pre-match entertainment, and kick-off is scheduled for 8pm.
There will be two licensed bars and street food on site, as well as toilets and drinking water. The venue is also fully accessible with a raised viewing platform and disabled toilets.
Councillor Salma Arif, Leeds City Council’s executive member for economy, said: “The whole country is behind England and it’s fantastic that fans will have the chance to come together and enjoy this incredible occasion in the open air at the heart of the city centre.
“The atmosphere on Millennium Square is always a one-of-a-kind and probably the closest you can get to being there.
“Leeds is a city that’s always had a massive passion for sport, and I know the fans will do England proud as we cheer them on in what will hopefully be another memorable win.”
Tickets are priced at £6 per person (inclusive of booking fees) and go on sale at 10am on Monday (July 13). They can be booked online or by calling 0113 376 0318.
