Watch the World Cup 2026 in Nairobi

The FIFA World Cup 2026 runs from 11 June to 19 July across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. For football fans in Nairobi and East Africa, most matches kick off between 11pm and 3am due to the time zone difference — making a hotel with an on-site screening venue the smartest way to enjoy the tournament.

Watch Every Match at Moss Oasis

Karen Plains Hotel is screening the FIFA World Cup 2026 live at Moss Oasis, our on-site restaurant. Stay at the hotel, walk downstairs for kick-off, enjoy food and drinks throughout the match, and head straight to your room when the final whistle blows. No taxis, no late-night Ubers, no driving across Nairobi at 2am.

Moss Oasis has a screen set up for the full tournament — group stage, knockouts, and all the way to the final on 19 July.

Combine the World Cup with a Kenya Safari

June and July 2026 is also peak safari season in Kenya — the wildebeest migration river crossings are building in the Masai Mara, and Nairobi National Park is excellent for game drives. Karen Plains Hotel puts you in the ideal position to do both — watch the World Cup at night and head out on safari during the day.

We are 10 minutes from Nairobi National Park's main gate and 10 minutes from Wilson Airport for Masai Mara flights. Read our guide on the best time to visit Kenya for a safari to plan your trip around the tournament.
