Seattle — Travel Guide

Plan your stay and match day in Seattle for World Cup 2026.

Seattle is one of the easiest U.S. host cities for urban matchday movement because the stadium sits close to the downtown core.

Where to stay

Downtown Seattle and nearby neighborhoods give the most flexible stay options without needing a car.

How to get to the stadium

Link light rail, buses, ferries, and walking routes make stadium access easier than in many suburban stadium markets.

Itinerary ideas

A compact three-day trip works well: waterfront, matchday, then Seattle Center or a neighborhood day.

Budget tips

Transit value is strong, so most of your budget pressure comes from flights and hotels rather than local movement.
