Seattle Stadium

Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington, will host six matches at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, including a Round of 16 tie, under its tournament name Seattle Stadium. The Pacific Northwest's mild summer makes it one of the most comfortable venues for players and fans.

The stadium in brief

Opened in 2002, it is the home of the NFL's Seattle Seahawks and MLS side Seattle Sounders, one of the best-supported soccer clubs in the United States. World Cup capacity is around 69,000. Its design traps and amplifies crowd noise, and Seahawks fans, the famous '12s', helped set decibel records here.

History

Built on the site of the old Kingdome, Lumen Field has hosted MLS Cups, CONCACAF fixtures and major concerts, and the Sounders' fervent following gives Seattle one of the strongest soccer cultures of any 2026 host city.
