Seattle's FIFA 2026 World Cup logo unveiled
SEATTLE - The FIFA World Cup may be three years away from coming to Seattle, but that doesn't mean the excitement over the 2026 tournament hadn't made its way to North America.
A logo reveal ceremony was held in Los Angeles on Wednesday as U.S., Canada and Mexico will all co-host the big tournament a little over three years from now.
"For the first time in history, an image of the actual trophy and the tournament hosting year is being depicted, forming an innovative design language that anchors the FIFA World Cup emblem for 2026 and beyond. The image of the trophy and the year allow for customization to reflect the uniqueness of each host, while building an identifiable brand structure for years to come," FIFA said in its online announcement.
The logo reveal comes months after Seattle was named as one of several U.S. host cities for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. It has not been announced which matches will be played in Seattle, but Lumen Field will host those matches.

"Our vision for FIFA World Cup '26 in Seattle is to create a people-based legacy focused on our community, culture, and children. The World’s Fair set the stage for Seattle to be the center of technology and the city of the future. Our legacy opportunity is guided by the spirit of unity, innovation, and inclusion. We love that the World’s Game is coming to Seattle in 2026, but our goal is to bring Washington to the world," said Seattle FWC26 CEO, Peter Tomozawa.
