October has been a big month for Seattle Sports! In addition to Lumen Field being named a host venue for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ next summer (with FIFA President Gianni Infantino announcing that Seattle will host SIX matches during his recent visit to the stadium), Seattle Center has been announced as a FIFA World Cup '26™ Fan Celebration site.

Fans can also look forward to the NCAA's selection of Climate Pledge Arena as a First & Second Round venue for 2028 NCAA® Men's Basketball Tournament, adding to the Madness already coming in 2025. And just last week, Seattle also welcomed two new USL W teams to the sports community.

The wacky cherry on top? The Savannah Bananas have announced their first-ever visit to T-Mobile Park, slated for September 2025! The games may not be until next year, but be sure to join the Ticket Lottery List by this November 1.

Seattle has world-class sports facilities AND fans: Make sure to mark your calendars for these historic events TODAY!

Before picking up (another) W, the Sports Commission hosted a special conversation with Mariners GM Justin Hollander - which included personal stories behind contract negotiations, plans for the future, and the resources available for identifying national and international talent.

Supporting our local teams & providing unique opportunities for our commissioners to convene around the positive power of sports is such a great way to bring our community together. We’re already looking forward to the next one!
