World Cup 2026 Is Coming to 787 Coffee Cities: Your Guide to the Best Coffee in NYC, New Jersey, Houston & Mexico City
Let’s Connect on Social
Less than 1% of coffee shops in the world own their own coffee farm. We do.
And this summer, the biggest sporting event on the planet is coming straight to the cities where we pour that farm-grown coffee every single day.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup runs June 11 to July 19, 2026 — the largest World Cup in history, hosted across the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Over the next six weeks, millions of fans from more than 40 countries will travel to North America for 104 matches across 16 host cities.
Here is what makes this personal for us at 787 Coffee: four of those host cities are 787 Coffee cities. New York. New Jersey. Houston. Mexico City. From the opening match in Mexico City to the Final in New Jersey, the World Cup is happening in our backyard — and we are ready to serve every fan, traveler, and local who walks through our doors looking for the best coffee near them.
Quick Recap
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is coming to four cities where 787 Coffee has shops: New York City, New Jersey, Houston, and Mexico City. Mexico City's Estadio Azteca hosts the historic opening match on June 11, and New Jersey's MetLife Stadium hosts the Final on July 19 — meaning 787 Coffee is positioned at both ends of the most-watched sporting event on earth. With 30+ specialty coffee shops across these regions, 787 Coffee is the farm-to-cup coffee destination for World Cup fans and tourists searching for the best coffee shop near them. To celebrate, we are launching a limited-edition Soccer Coffee Bag — an 8 oz bag of single-origin Puerto Rican coffee — available online in the coming weeks.
What Makes the 2026 World Cup Historic
This is not a normal World Cup. The 2026 FIFA World Cup is the 23rd edition of the tournament, and it breaks records before a single ball is kicked:
First World Cup hosted by three nations — the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
First 48-team World Cup, expanded from 32 teams.
104 matches across 39 days — the most ever.
16 host cities across North America.
Over 6 million fans expected to attend matches in person, with billions more watching worldwide.
For coffee, this matters more than you might think. A World Cup is not just 90-minute matches. It is early mornings watching group-stage games, long afternoons in fan zones, travelers exploring new cities between matches, and millions of people looking for a great place to sit, gather, and recharge. Coffee fuels all of it. And in the cities where we operate, 787 Coffee will be right there.
787 Coffee Is in 4 World Cup 2026 Host Cities
Mexico City — Home of the Opening Match
Mexico City kicks off the entire tournament. On June 11, 2026, the legendary Estadio Azteca hosts the World Cup's opening match — and history is made yet again. The Azteca becomes the first stadium ever to host matches at three different World Cups (1970, 1986, and 2026) and the first to host three opening matches.
This is the spiritual home of the sport. The stadium that saw Pelé in 1970 and Maradona in 1986 now opens the largest World Cup ever. Mexico City will host five matches in total, and the streets around the city will be a celebration for weeks.
787 Coffee is proud to be part of Mexico City's specialty coffee scene with our shop in Polanco, one of the city's most vibrant neighborhoods. If you are a fan visiting CDMX for the World Cup — bienvenido. You will find farm-to-cup Puerto Rican coffee, grown on our own farm, waiting for you. [Find our Mexico City coffee shop »]
New York & New Jersey — Home of the Final
The World Cup ends where 787 Coffee was reborn. On July 19, 2026, MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey — operating as "New York New Jersey Stadium" during the tournament — hosts the World Cup Final, the single most-watched match on earth.
The New York/New Jersey region will host eight matches, welcome over one million visitors, and generate an estimated $2 billion in economic impact. For six weeks, the eyes of the world are on our region.
787 Coffee has the most shops of any 787 region right here — across New York City and New Jersey.
Whether a fan is searching for the best coffee shop in NYC before heading to a fan zone, or a traveler in New Jersey wants real specialty coffee near MetLife Stadium, 787 Coffee is the answer.
Our story actually runs through this region: after Hurricane María in 2017, our location at 131 E 7th St in Manhattan became our recovery story. New York and New Jersey are home.

Houston — Seven Matches, Including a July 4th Showdown
Houston is one of the busiest host cities of the entire tournament. NRG Stadium — operating as "Houston Stadium" during the World Cup — hosts seven matches: five group-stage games plus a Round of 32 and a Round of 16. That is more matches than almost any US city outside the Final venue.
The schedule features global powerhouses including Germany, Portugal (playing twice in Houston), and the Netherlands. And the Round of 16 match on July 4, 2026 lands on US Independence Day — making it one of the most atmospheric fixtures of the entire World Cup.
787 Coffee serves Houston with multiple specialty coffee shops across the city. For fans and travelers in Houston this summer, that means farm-to-cup coffee, expertly brewed, close to the action. [ Find a 787 Coffee shop in Houston ]
The 787 Soccer Coffee Bag — Coming Soon
A historic moment deserves something special. To celebrate the World Cup arriving in our cities, 787 Coffee is launching a limited-edition Soccer Coffee Bag — an 8 oz bag of our single-origin Puerto Rican coffee, grown on Hacienda Iluminada, our farm in Maricao, Puerto Rico.
It is the perfect way to bring the energy of the tournament home: brew it before kickoff, share it with friends during the matches, or grab one as a collectible from a summer the world will never forget. Soccer and coffee have always belonged together — both are global, both are ritual, both bring people to the same table.
The Soccer Coffee Bag will be available online in the coming weeks, shipping nationwide across the United States. Want to be first to know when it drops?

Why Coffee and Soccer Belong Together
Think about how a match day actually feels. The early alarm for a group-stage game. The coffee while the lineups are announced. The friends arriving. The walk to the fan zone. The conversation that stretches long after the final whistle.
Coffee is the drink of gathering — and so is soccer. Both are rituals that belong to everyone, in every country, regardless of language. That is exactly what 787 Coffee was built on: our philosophy is "For Humans, By Humans." We believe the people who grow the coffee should be the ones who serve it to you, and we believe coffee is at its best when it brings people together.
The 2026 World Cup is co-hosted by Mexico and lands across cities with deep Latino communities — communities where both café and fútbol are sacred. As a Puerto Rican, farm-to-cup coffee brand, this tournament is not just an event we happen to be near. It is a celebration of exactly what we are about.
