Sounders FC and Reign FC announced on May 29 additional details for the Seattle Soccer Celebration powered by Lenovo, outlining fan experiences planned for the FIFA World Cup 2026 this summer at Elliott Bay. The event will feature free public programming at Waterfront Park at Pier 62, as well as a series of ticketed live match viewings aboard a floating barge.
The Seattle Soccer Celebration will include 14 ticketed events aboard the floating barge, offering views, hospitality, and entertainment during key matches. Tickets are now available to the general public after an exclusive presale for Sounders FC and Reign FC members. In addition to premium offerings, there will be a variety of free community programs along Seattle’s waterfront. Matches featuring previous FIFA World Cup winners Argentina, Brazil, and France—along with host nations United States, Canada, and Mexico—will be highlighted in live viewing sessions.
In partnership with Friends of Waterfront Park and RAVE Foundation, organizers said they are committed to making Seattle Soccer Celebration accessible to fans across the region. Live viewings of all U.S., Mexico, and Canada matches will be open to the public through an open registration process. More information about free live viewing programming at Pier 62—including youth soccer activities and opportunities for underserved youth—will be announced before the tournament.
A complete listing of open-to-the-public live viewings is expected during the week of June 1. Reservations for these events can be made via the Seattle Soccer Celebration microsite.
Courtney Carter, Chief Revenue Officer for Sounders FC & Reign FC, said: “Seattle Soccer Celebration is about creating a place where our community and visiting fans from around the world can come together to celebrate the game in a uniquely Seattle way. While the floating barge offers a number of special ticketed experiences, the broader vision for Seattle Soccer Celebration has always centered on accessibility, community, and creating unforgettable moments across the waterfront for fans of all ages throughout the tournament.”
Private hospitality rentals are also available on board for groups seeking unique experiences during FIFA World Cup 2026. Premium group packages can accommodate between approximately 50 to 400 guests with customizable options.
