From June 11 to July 19, 2026, bars and restaurants across Missouri that are licensed to serve alcohol will be allowed to serve from 6 a.m. to 5 a.m. under a statewide exemption passed in anticipation of the FIFA World Cup.

Kansas City will let bars and restaurants serve alcohol 23 hours a day during World Cup
Kansas City will test out a new expansion of the legal drink-serving window during the FIFA 2026 World Cup. The temporary rule aims to boost tourism and business, while regulators stress safety and prepare for an unprecedented surge in nightlife activity.
