With the FIFA World Cup 2026 kicking off this summer across North America, there has never been a better time to host an outdoor watchalong. Whether you are a pub manager, corporate event organiser, or simply bringing the fans together, Expo Hire has everything you need to set the scene — from beer bench sets and rattan furniture to patio heaters and commercial BBQs.
The FIFA World Cup 2026 runs from June to mid-July, hosted across the USA, Canada, and Mexico. Long summer evenings and afternoon kick-offs suit outdoor watching in the UK. Expo Hire has everything you need to set it up.
Whether you are running a fanzone or a street party, you need seating that holds up. Our folding beer bench and table sets seat six per set and go up in minutes, bringing the communal pub feel that makes a watchalong work.
For a more relaxed setup, our rattan furniture sets create lounge areas in front of a big screen where guests can sit for the full 90 minutes. For tighter spaces, our aluminium tables and chairs are lighter and hold up in the weather.
For afternoon kick-offs, our large commercial parasols come with weighted bases and need no staking.
UK evenings cool down once the sun drops, even in summer. With North American time zones pushing some matches late, your outdoor area needs to stay warm. Our patio heaters for hire, available in gas and electric, keep outdoor fanzones comfortable through the evening.
Our pyramid LPG patio heaters are straightforward to light and come with 13kg gas bottles, so you do not need to source fuel separately. For larger spaces like open beer gardens or car parks, our 15kW space heaters push out enough heat to keep a large crowd warm through a full evening.
A watchalong without food is a screening. Our commercial BBQs for hire are built for volume. The Cinders barbecue has two separate cooking areas, so meat and veggie options cook at the same time and queues stay short.
Gas bottles and wrenches arrive with the BBQs, so you can start cooking as soon as your delivery lands.
Expo Hire delivers throughout England and Wales seven days a week, so everything is in place before the first match. If you need kit for one screening or the full tournament, our team can help you work out the right order.
Expo Hire doesn't deliver to Scotland, so we can't help with the watchalong setup. We know, tough times. Our sister site Expo Direct sells outdoor furniture outright and ships to Scotland, so your garden can look the part while you enjoy Scotland's traditional tournament experience of three games and home.
