It'll be a sunny day in Seattle when the city isn't excited for a soccer match.

The Emerald City will help play host when the 2026 FIFA World Cup comes to North America. Seattle Stadium, also known as Lumen Field, will host six matches throughout the tournament. That includes the USMNT's second fixture of group play.

Located right along downtown, Seattle Stadium is an easy yet worthwhile venue for the World Cup. It can house nearly 70,000 on gameday, and the stadium will certainly be packed when the tournament comes to town.

Seattle is a one-of-a-kind place to be, making it a great hub for soccer fans from all over the world. Breathtaking scenery, fresh-caught fish available on every corner, coffee and breweries galore, it's the capital of the Pacific Northwest for good reason. And now, soccer fans from around the world can see what Washington is made of.
