Time left in Vancouver's window
A 5-week window, not a single day.
The counter above tracks the time left in the Vancouver window. The pitch demos, sponsor activations, and hospitality bookings run across the whole tournament — there's still room on the remaining dates.
-
June 13, 2026
Tournament window opened
Vancouver entered its host phase. Fan zones, brand activations, and hospitality programmes are live across the city.
-
Group stage
Vancouver group matches

-
Knockout rounds
Round of 32 and beyond

-
July 19, 2026
Tournament window closes
Final match day. Brand teams collect content, sponsors close out activations, and the city steps down.
The remaining slots go fast.
Now that the tournament is on, brand teams are reacting to results on the ground and the open dates disappear quickly — match days first, then the days on either side of them. The closer to July 19, 2026 you get, the fewer windows are left.
If you are planning a fan zone, a hospitality lounge, a sponsor dinner, a brand activation, or a corporate event before the window closes, the time to lock a date is now.
Countdown questions
-

-
How many matches does Vancouver host?
Vancouver is hosting 7 FIFA World Cup 2026 matches: a mix of group-stage fixtures and knockout games at BC Place. Sponsor activations and fan zones cluster around these match days but also fill the gaps between.
-
Can I still book live freestyle football during the World Cup window?
Yes. With the tournament under way, Grayson is still taking bookings for fan zones, brand activations, hospitality lounges, sponsor dinners, and corporate events across the rest of the Vancouver window. Use the booking form on the contact page with your venue or city and target dates. The remaining slots go fast, so earlier inquiries get the best windows.
-
Is Grayson available to non-rights-holders?
Yes. Grayson is independent and is not locked to any sponsor or rights-holder, so brands, agencies, hospitality operators, and corporate hosts can all book around the tournament without rights conflicts.
-
How fast can a booking come together mid-tournament?
Standard sets can often be confirmed on short notice while the tournament is on. Custom routines for sponsor moments or product reveals still want as much lead time as possible, so the sooner you reach out about a remaining June or July date, the better.
