Catch Soccer Watch Parties and FIFA Events Happening Near you all Summer
The CONCACAF Gold Cup is held every two years and consists of North American, Central American and Caribbean teams. The winners of this overall tournament will go on to play the winners of the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup (a one-match playoff to determine which team qualifies for the 2021 FIFA Confederations Cup). While team Mexico and team USA are the favorites to meet in the final, don’t count out Panama, Jamaica and Costa Rica from making a run to the championship game.
MLB Home Run Derby and All-Star Game – July 10 and 11, 2017
Baseball Watch Parties and Events all Summer
These annual events are a must see in the summer! This year’s all-star game is the first since 2002 where the outcome of the game does not determine the home-field advantage for the World Series (the team with the better record overall at the end of the season will host). The Home Run Derby takes place the Monday before the All-Star Game and is a contest between the top home run hitters in the MLB, such as Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton and Gary Sanchez.
These two events mark the halfway point of the MLB season while both leagues are having an All-Star break.

Touted as one of the biggest boxing matches in a decade, these two are finally going to put their money where their mouths are. After months of speculation about whether Mayweather would come out of retirement, he is going up against McGregor, a mixed martial arts fighter.
