USA World Cup opening ceremony live stream: Watch Katy Perry, Future and more from pregame show

The largest World Cup ever calls for multiple opening ceremonies — and the last one arrives on Friday evening.

After Mexico and Canada already welcomed soccer fans to World Cup 2026 with their own respective ceremonies prior to their national teams' matches, now, the United States will do the same. 

Katy Perry, Future and more are set to perform in Los Angeles for the United States' World Cup opening ceremony prior to the U.S. vs. Paraguay matchup.

Here's how to live stream Friday's United States World Cup opening ceremony.

How to watch USA World Cup opening ceremony

• Stream: YouTube, Tubi, Fox One
• TV Channel: Fox

Earlier on Friday, for Canada's World Cup opening ceremony, Fox provided shorter clips of coverage of the ceremony, but did not broadcast the full show and performances. For the United States' ceremony, the same is expected.

However, Fox did provide full coverage of Canada's opening ceremony through its Fox Soccer YouTube channel, which it will presumably do again. It's likely that Fox will also show clips from the U.S. ceremony in the pre-match coverage on Friday night — "FIFA World Cup LIVE" begins ahead of United States vs. Paraguay.

Fox also previously announced that the United States World Cup opening ceremony will be streamed live on Fox One and simulcast on Tubi.

What time is the USA World Cup opening ceremony?

The United States' World Cup opening ceremony will start on Friday, June 12 at 7:30 p.m. ET (4:30 p.m. local time) from SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, California.

Here's how that time translates across different time zones in the United States:
