Where the World’s Game Meets Seattle’s Pride

In 2026, Seattle welcomes the world — and during Pride Weekend, we show up exactly as we are: bold, joyful, and united.

Pride Match Day is more than a game. It’s a citywide celebration of visibility, belonging, and community — anchored in the FIFA World Cup 2026™ and powered by the people, businesses, and neighborhoods that make Washington extraordinary.

Whether you’re joining us at a watch party, rocking Pride Match Day gear, or raising a glass to inclusion, this is your moment to be a part of something unforgettable.

WALK THE UNITY LOOP

The Unity Loop is a citywide pathway that connects key World Cup destinations across Seattle—but through an LGBTQ+ lens, it becomes a visible celebration of Pride, belonging, and community.

Along the route, LGBTQ+-owned businesses, artists, and cultural spaces are intentionally highlighted, extending Pride beyond a single neighborhood into a shared, citywide experience. From Capitol Hill to downtown and the waterfront, the Loop reflects Seattle’s commitment to visibility, safety, and inclusion.
