Cosm sets opening date as Centennial Yards centerpiece downtown

A key entertainment component of downtown’s Centennial Yards is set to open precisely one day before the first 2026 FIFA World Cup match in North America is played this year.

Officials with Cosm Atlanta today announced the company’s third “immersive entertainment venue” will debut for the public on June 10 by showing Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

Remaining tickets for that event in the main dome viewing area, which went on sale today, start at $77 each, including fees.

The initial summer lineup of Cosm’s events downtown was also revealed today. Along with marquee sporting events, productions will feature Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, The Matrix, and Cirque du Soleil’s show “O.”

Situated adjacent to the Atlanta Hawks’ State Farm Arena and Mercedes-Benz Stadium, 70,000-square-foot Cosm Atlanta will join two similar venues the company opened in 2024 at Hollywood Park in Los Angeles and Grandscape in The Colony in Texas, north of downtown Dallas. (Two more Cosm venues are in the works in Cleveland and Detroit.)

The three-level Atlanta venue will feature an 87-foot diameter, 12K+ LED dome that’s said to bridge “the gap between the virtual and physical worlds through Shared Reality.”

Other components will include a section dotted with large LED screens called “The Hall” that's billed as the ultimate game-day sports bar, plus a swanky rooftop venue dubbed “The Deck” with downtown stadium views.

Project officials have said the Atlanta venue—part of a flurry of construction activity at 50-acre, $5-billion Centennial Yards, including the district’s second topped-out hotel—will expand on the foundational design of those in California and Texas while incorporating character that reflects Centennial Yards and the city at large. It broke ground in summer 2024 and topped out last May.

2026 FIFA World Cup matches in Atlanta are set to kick off June 15 downtown.
