Spokane Summer of Soccer 2026

Spokane is an Official SeattleFWC26 Fan Zone and we’re looking forward to hosting watch parties for the FIFA World Cup Summer 2026! Ready up for live events, watch parties, matches around the city, and more ways for fans to experience soccer. We’ll be working with STA, SeattleFWC26, and other partners to give away prizes and amazing experiences all summer long.

SPOKANE is a SEATTLEFWC26 FAN ZONE!

This summer, look forward to watching matches alongside other soccer fans in the heart of downtown Spokane. More information coming soon! Sign up for the newsletter for FIFA updates.

This summer, fans can look forward to watching matches alongside other soccer supporters right in the heart of downtown Spokane. Nine communities around the State of Washington have been selected as official SeattleFWC26 Fan Zones to bring global excitement to visitors and locals in communities all around the Evergreen State.

We are honored to host Team Egypt as they prepare for their FWC26 matches in Seattle. The city of Spokane has so much to offer visitors from all over the globe and can’t wait to showcase our community spirit this summer! "Being selected as both a host city to Team Egypt and a designated SeattleFWC26 Fan Zone are incredible honors. We want to make the most of this moment,” Spokane Mayor Lisa Brown said. "The Summer of Soccer is about bringing people together and celebrating sport, culture and community pride.”

Collaborating with our partners at Spokane Sports, Spokane Transit Authority, and the City of Spokane, we’ll be cheering on the action all summer long with multiple official Fan Zone Watch Parties at Gesa Pavilion in Riverfront Park, as well as activating our local business community to host watch parties of their own all around the city for local fans and visitors alike to come together and cheer.

STA will add routes and more soccer-themed experiences to its rides to support fan engagement throughout the city.

We’re thrilled to bring the global energy of FWC26 to our community with official watch parties and merchandise. We can’t wait for you to join the celebration. For more information about SeattleFWC26 and fanzones around Washington State, keep reading below!

It’s a summer of Soccer in Spokane!

Watch Parties

Spokane is so excited to welcome visitors from all over the country and the world to experience the global game in a uniquely Spokane way! As an Official SeattleFWC26 Fan Zone, we will be hosting Fan Zone Watch parties at Gesa Pavilion in Riverfront Park on June 19th (USA vs Australia) and July 19th (FWC26 Final), where you can watch the big game on a 21-foot screen. General admission tickets are FREE and include all-day entry, access to food trucks, beer gardens, DJ, family activities, giveaways, and more. Watchgoers still need to reserve tickets in advance to secure their seats for the watch party, and registration is needed for entry.

On Juneteenth, get to the celebration early at the Pavilion to enjoy a community welcome, recognition of the Juneteenth Celebration happening in Riverfront Park, and the introduction and honoring of Miss Juneteenth.

Beyond the official Fan Zone Watch Parties, dozens of local businesses will be hosting their own watch parties! Join other soccer fans at No-Li, Brick West Brewing Company, Flatstick Pub, Uprise Brewing Co., and more all summer long to take in the largest sporting event in the world as it takes over North America!

If your business is hosting a watch party, submit an event to make sure you’re listed on the Summer of Soccer event page. Use the Spokane Summer of Soccer community toolkit for social media promotion, to print out posters, coasters, table tents, and let fans know you'll be celebrating FWC26 with watch parties!
