The event.
Presented by the Kansas City Pioneers and hosted by Sporting KC, the Soccer Capital Gaming Experience celebrated the FIFA World Cup 2026 with in-person fan experiences, gaming, watch parties, sports, and sponsor activations.
After Community Mode wrapped up, the event continued live on Twitch. The July 7 Rocket League Fan Exhibition featured JKnaps, Kronovi, T3Bates, Lawler, and special guests. On July 15, eight countries competed for one title in THE FINALS: Nations Cup, supported by Embark Studios. Variety streams on July 18 and 19 brought Rocket League and THE FINALS back for more games and community moments. The broadcasts extended the live events and free gaming experiences at Soccer Capital Summer, presented by Sporting KC, to fans watching from home.
