What you need to know for Day 3 of FIFA World Cup 2026 in Kansas City

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Soccer fans are in store for a treat on Saturday, as the number of matches expands to four and spans nearly 12 hours.

The United States is riding high after a 4-1 World Cup opener victory over Paraguay from Los Angeles Stadium.

FIFA Fan Fest is open for the third straight day, with gates opening at 2 p.m.

A heads up - KC2026 announced Saturday morning that the Chainsmokers concert planned for tonight has been rescheduled to next Sunday due to the threat of severe weather.

There is the potential for some storms on Saturday. KC2026, the group organizing FIFA Fan Fest, says they are working closely with the National Weather Service and will keep fans up to date about any impacts.

Meanwhile, Kansas City will finally welcome its fourth and final base camp team around 1 p.m. when England arrives. Team England is staying at the Inn at Meadowbrook in Prairie Village and training at the Swope Soccer Village in Kansas City, Missouri.

There was some drama involving Team England Friday night when reports surfaced that the team's gear may have been stolen en route from Florida to Kansas City.
