国际足联准备就绪

Seattle will be a host city for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the largest sporting event in the world. This event is predicted to bring more than 750,000 visitors to the region in summer 2026, with hotels within a two-hour drive likely selling out.* Sports fans are expected to travel city to city within the Western Region, staying longer and spending more. It’s estimated the event will bring in $929 million in revenue for King County.

Here are the key things to know:

• 48 countries will compete in 16 cities in the USA, Mexico, and Canada.
• Six matches will be held at Seattle’s Lumen Field (capacity: 68,780) between June 15 and July 6, 2026.
• Final team assignments won’t be confirmed until December 2025.
