Seattle’s World Cup Organizing Committee will hold its biggest public event at Seattle Center in 2026.
Organizing Committee CEO Peter Tomozawa told KOMO News a long-planned “fan celebration” will be on the center grounds, extending from MoPop to Fisher Pavilion and the Pacific Science Center.
The grounds will host live concerts and viewing parties for the entire World Cup. Seattle will host six matches in all, and seven more will be held just up I-5 in Vancouver, making the city a hub for international travelers.

I lived in the Bay Area when the World Cup came there years ago and it was so incredibly insane and the crowds there more than anyone could imagine. Bad times ahead 🥲
I really hope no one gets hurt. I dont have a good feeling about this . $eattle is not a safe place and hasnt been for decades.
Oh thank you God this is scheduled for 2026!!!! Plenty of time to make this city a safer place, right? Right??!!
Let's use money to attract mass vi$itor$ to make up for the fact that everybody waking up to the fact that $eattle is no place to call home
