Seattle’s organizing committee has announced that the Pacific Place mall will become a free fan zone for the 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup. From June 15 to July 2, and again July 6–7, the 27,000-square-foot space, named Seattle Soccer House, will be open to all ages with no advance registration or ticket purchase required. The centerpiece will be a 70-foot screen visible from four levels.
The Soccer House will be divided into six themed zones. These include the "Forest Entry" with a world map where visitors can mark their country, the "Watering Hole" with a nautical theme and a bar, the "Urban Core" with the main screen and a tournament-bracket wall, and the "Field" with a mini lawn for kids and creative areas. Also featured are the "Pacific Market" with souvenirs and the VIP "Summit Club," styled like a mountain lodge.
Organizers emphasized inclusivity: there will be spaces for wheelchair users, captions and audio description for blind and hard-of-hearing fans, and nonalcoholic beverages. Seattle Soccer House will be one of four official fan zones, alongside sites at Seattle Center, Pier 62 and Victory Hall, helping make the city a true hub of World Cup celebration in 2026.
