FIFA World Cup Filming Restrictions 

Production Alert: DTLA at night

Preparations are being made for the upcoming FIFA World Cup, which will take place across the United States, Canada, and Mexico from June 11 to July 19, 2026. FilmLA has worked closely with local permit authorities and city and county partners to adopt a strategic, limited approach to filming restrictions.

By focusing those restrictions on established Fan Zones and other areas anticipating high volumes of public traffic, FilmLA and its partners are helping to avoid large-scale moratoriums and limit disruption to the region’s critical production community. 

Below is a list of areas that FilmLA has been made aware of, the dates of the restrictions, and what restrictions apply. This list will be updated if any additions or changes are made. Please check back regularly or contact FilmLA’s Production Planning team at info@filmla.com or (213) 977-8600.
