About this stadium

Lumen Field in Seattle, WA is one of the signature World Cup 2026 sites, with a listed tournament capacity of 68,740 and a hybrid playing surface. Its older footprint adds history and atmosphere that newer venues cannot fake.

Its assignment as the R16 host underlines how central it is to FIFA's tournament plan. Seattle is one of the strongest football cities in North America, and that existing supporter culture should translate into one of the loudest group-stage environments in the event.
