WM 2026 at Zrće Beach & Novalja: An Unforgettable Experience!

Zrće Beach in Novalja is known worldwide for its legendary open-air parties – but in summer, the party beach on the island of Pag transforms into the hottest hotspot for football fans. When the FIFA World Cup 2026 kicks off, there is no better place to watch the games live with friends while enjoying the perfect summer vacation.

Imagine: scorching heat at the beach during the day, feet in the pool at night, an ice-cold drink in hand, and the World Cup live on huge screens while the crowd goes wild with every goal. This is public viewing at a whole new level!

The Best Locations to Watch Football: Zrće & Novalja

Whether you want to watch the match directly in the club or comfortably with a cold beer in the city – the region offers you the perfect spots to not miss a single goal.

1. Kalypso Club (Zrće Beach)

The Kalypso is legendary for perfectly combining sports and party. In addition to top-notch festivals, you can enjoy the games in a super relaxed, tree-lined open-air atmosphere. Order a cocktail, grab some snacks, and celebrate the goals right on the dance floor.

2. Novalja City: The Fan Center (Cocomo, News Café & Pubs)

Novalja is your home base during the World Cup – most crews stay in the apartments here. During the games, the entire beachfront promenade (Riva) transforms into a single fan zone.
