City of Lee’s Summit Hosting KC2026 Countdown Clock

City of Lee’s Summit Hosting KC2026 Countdown Clock

The City of Lee’s Summit is proudly hosting one of two KC2026 FIFA World Cup 26™ Countdown Clocks in the center of Green Street, the City’s new outdoor destination located in the heart of downtown Lee’s Summit. The custom-designed, illuminated clock features Kansas City’s unique Host City branding and joins an identical clock in Overland Park, Kansas, counting down the days, hours, minutes and seconds until midnight, June 11, 2026, the day the FIFA World Cup 26™ kicks off in Mexico City. The clock will be on display at Green Street through mid-November.

The heart-shaped clock is made of aluminum and steel and stands approximately 10 feet tall and 12 feet wide. The Countdown Clock will be a powerful reminder that the world’s biggest sporting competition will hold six matches in Kansas City beginning June 16, 2026. 

  • June 16: Group Stage
  • June 20: Group Stage
  • June 25: Group Stage
  • June 27: Group Stage
  • July 3: Round of 32
  • July 11: Quarter-Final

The City of Lee’s Summit is honored to participate in welcoming the world to our region. Fans, visitors and residents are encouraged to visit the Countdown Clock at Green Street, 209 SE Green St., take some photos and share the excitement using #WeAre26 #WeAreKansasCity.
