Match Nights Feature Live Screenings of Every World Cup Fixture
Live match screenings are at the heart of the Rixos Match Nights programme.
Running from 11 June through 19 July 2026, the series will give guests the opportunity to watch every World Cup fixture in a dedicated setting at Rixos Obhur Jeddah.

The format encourages guests to gather around the matches, share the excitement of the competition, and enjoy the atmosphere with friends and family.
Whether attending for a particular fixture or planning an evening around the tournament, visitors can combine football viewing with food, drinks, and social interaction.
Match Nights Combine Football with a Curated Dining Experience
Food is an important part of the Rixos Match Nights offering, with a dedicated menu designed to complement the live screenings.
The menu includes game-day favourites such as sliders, chicken wings, and sharing platters. These options are suited to a social setting in which guests can enjoy refreshments and share food while following the action on screen.
The curated menu adds a dining element to the event, making the experience about more than watching football alone.
For groups attending together, sharing platters and familiar game-day dishes provide a way to enjoy the matches while spending time with friends and family.
Match Nights Menu Includes Game-Day Favourites
The food offering centres on approachable dishes associated with casual gatherings and sporting occasions.
Sliders and chicken wings provide individual options, while sharing platters offer food that guests can enjoy together throughout the evening.

Match Nights Offer Signature Shisha and a Social Atmosphere
Alongside football and dining, signature shisha experiences form part of the Rixos Match Nights programme.
The offering is designed to complement the social setting, giving guests another option as they gather to watch the tournament.
The combination of live screenings, food, beverages, and shisha supports the event’s positioning as a shared evening experience rather than a conventional match screening.
The atmosphere is intended to appeal to both dedicated football fans and visitors who want to enjoy the occasion with friends or family.
Match Nights Create a Gathering Place for Friends and Families
