FIFA World Cup 2026

The world’s largest sporting event is coming to our backyard in the summer of 2026! Next year's FIFA World Cup will see 48 different nations playing for the title of global champion. Seattle will host six matches from June 15 - July 6, including USA's second group fixture and two knockout games.

Hosting the event is anticipated to leverage more than $1 billion in economic activity for the region. About 750,000 visitors will be in the Seattle region to soak up the event atmosphere with the over four billion global viewers tuning in - and we're inviting everyone to come to Redmond as the City showcases what makes Redmond so special. With the new light rail transportation system – and its expected further expansion in time for the excitement of next year’s competition – Redmond is ready to leverage this opportunity to welcome the world and foster economic impact for the local economy.
