When Seattle announced it would host a Pride Match during the 2026 World Cup, it was long before the draw had even been made.
The match at Lumen Field on June 26 (4am on June 27 in the UK) - one of six the city is hosting - falls on the same date as Seattle's annual Pride weekend, setting the stage for a festival of celebrations outside the stadium.
