Preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Seattle got a big boost Tuesday morning with the announcement of nine cities that will host FIFA fan zones.

The cities include Bellingham, Bremerton, Everett, Olympia, Lacey, Pasco, Richland, Kennewick, Spokane, Tacoma, Yakima and Vancouver, Washington.

The goal is to make sure families who can’t make it to the soccer matches will have a place close by to watch, socialize with like-minded fans and enjoy the festivities — including live music, food, drinks and interactive activities.

“I’m super, super, super excited,” Tacoma Mayor Victoria Woodards shared. “So often, when cities get something, they keep it to themselves. The fact that Seattle wants to share this with the entire state is really exciting.”

No matter where you live, there will be a FIFA 2026 fan zone just a short drive away and the fan zones are free to the public.

“What a wonderful opportunity,” Vancouver, Washington Mayor Anne McEnerney said. “It will be exciting to blow it up and to be with a crowd who is enjoying this. Oh my God.”

While the World Cup is still more than a year away, organizers said it will be one of the best World Cups ever and it’s expected to generate nearly a billion dollars for the Washington economy.
