Public Viewing: Deutschland – Ecuador

The excitement is building, and the anticipation is palpable: The 2026 World Cupis just around the corner, and soccer fans in Heidelberg can look forward to thrilling live broadcasts of Germany’s matches inside and outside halle02!

Soccer, cold beer, and 90 minutes of collective frenzy.
Cheering together, discussing, despairing, and making friends with people you didn’t even know five minutes ago. 

halle02 becomes a living room for everyone who prefers to experience soccer together rather than watch alone. Whether outside on Kleine Freiheit, in our main hall (or anywhere else) depends on the weather and capacity—but great vibes, cold drinks, and big emotions are guaranteed either way.

In addition to our popular hot dogs, this year we’re also serving fries for the first time—and fresh pizza from Pizza Emozioni. So if you arrive in time for the doors to open, you can eat in peace, secure a good spot, and be ready right on time for kickoff. Full, relaxed, and right in the thick of it.

On this day, both the hall and Kleine Freiheit will be open for you. Whether you prefer to celebrate the next summer fairy tale indoors in front of the large panoramic screen in the hall or outdoors in front of the LED wall and several additional screens under the open sky: the excitement will be palpable everywhere.
