The report says the schedule begins with France vs Spain on Tuesday, July 14, with kickoff listed for 3 p.m. ET. A day later, Argentina vs England will reportedly decide the other finalist at the same time.
The remaining events are scheduled for:
The screenings are described as free and family-oriented, extending the tournament beyond traditional sports venues and into one of Boston’s best-known public spaces.
The report says Boston has already hosted 11 community World Cup events across different neighbourhoods. The City Hall Plaza schedule therefore represents a continuation of an existing public-viewing effort rather than a standalone celebration.
That matters for the final stages. Semifinals typically attract a broader audience than group matches, while the final can unite supporters who otherwise follow different teams. A central plaza gives the city a chance to turn those high-stakes fixtures into shared events for residents, businesses and visitors.
The matchups also offer contrasting storylines: France and Spain bring a heavyweight European rivalry, while Argentina and England carry their own history and global fan bases. The winning sides will meet in the final, while the defeated teams are expected to contest the third-place fixture.
If the programme proceeds as reported, City Hall Plaza will remain a focal point until the trophy is lifted on July 19. The next storyline to watch is whether Boston’s public screenings can match the intensity building around the semifinal pairings.
