"Lumen Field is most northerly by far of the 11 United States stadiums hosting matches at World Cup 2026. Located in the Pacific Northwest, it's much closer to Vancouver than Santa Clara, where the next-closest USA stadium stands. It's one of 16 World Cup 2026 venues across the United States, Mexico and Canada, and will host four group stage matches and two knock-out games under the name 'Seattle Stadium'."
"Lumen Field, which will host six matches at World Cup 2026, is not one of Major League Soccer's soccer-specific stadiums but it is the permanent home of top-level men's and women's teams and thus a football stadium more often than it is anything else. It was constructed as a new facility for the Seattle Seahawks. The NFL team had shared the Kingdome with the city's baseball and basketball teams but took up residence at Lumen Field near downtown Seattle on the edge of Elliott Bay."
"Lumen Field is the middle of three stadiums involved in the Cascadia Cup rivalry. After the Seattle Sounders, Portland Timbers and Vancouver Whitecaps names were carried into MLS when the league expanded into the old NASL markets, the rivalries were reborn. Seattle is a football city. There will be four group stage matches at the distinctive Lumen Field. They include two for Egypt, the second group stage fixture for the United States against Australia and, potentially, the last group game for Northern Ireland or Wales."
Lumen Field sits in Seattle near Elliott Bay and is the most northerly of the 11 United States stadiums hosting World Cup 2026 matches.

Lumen Field is the middle stadium in the Cascadia Cup rivalry.
